FOREWORD

Ships and sailors go to sea, and global navies sail far from home. Today, your Navy is forward deployed and engaged around the world, delivering the full range of core capabilities defined in our Maritime Strategy and demonstrating the speed, agility, and flexibility required by a nation with global interests in a time of increasing unpredictability.

G. Roughead Admiral, U.S. Navy Chief of Naval Operations

On any given day, more than 44,000 Sailors are deployed and nearly half of our 288 ships are underway. As we have throughout our 235 year history, America’s Navy goes where America’s interests are. So today, in full commitment to current combat operations in Afghanistan, more than 14,000 Sailors serve on the ground in the Middle East, and another 10,000 serve there at sea. At the same time, we know our nation’s interests extend far beyond Afghanistan. Our Navy provides ballistic missile defense in the Mediterranean and humanitarian assistance in Central America. We are carrying out maritime security operations off the coast of Africa, and building partnerships and ensuring freedom of navigation in the waters of the Indian Ocean and Western Pacific. Our Navy is in high demand today, and I expect this demand to only increase as global trends in demographics, economics, natural resources and climate change drive significant change in the maritime and global security environments. The opening of the Arctic and the imminent expansion of the Panama Canal are just two examples of events that will reshape the way the world moves goods across the globe, and by extension, will have profound effects on communities ashore. Meanwhile, the proliferation of new technologies is adding an entirely new dimension to our very concept of security, as the information domain evolves to become a central component of our nation’s treasure and strength, and not simply a vehicle of them. For the foreseeable future, disruption and disorder will persist while concerns abroad on issues of sovereignty will increase resistance to the extensive presence of foreign land forces and require us to maintain minimal footprint ashore. Seapower is the option to maintain U.S. presence and influence and, when necessary, project power without a costly, sizeable or permanent footprint ashore. Our Navy remains the most sustainable, enduring option for our nation to be actively involved in all the regions of the world where the security of our interests and those of our friends and allies are at stake. Underpinning every capability we have are our Sailors, Navy civilians and their families. Our ships, aircraft, weapons and systems are highly capable, but our skilled, competent, and innovative Sailors turn them into capabilities that prevent conflict and win wars. Every day, our people do great things at sea, on land, in the air, in space, and in cyberspace. They are the true force that powers our Nation’s Global Force for Good. The plan for our Navy articulated in this document strikes the optimal balance among my priorities to build tomorrow’s Navy while remaining ready to fight today and developing and supporting our Sailors, Navy civilians and their families. This 2011 Navy Program Guide is an overview of the key systems, programs and initiatives in which we must invest to build and maintain a Navy that meets the needs of our great Nation.

Meeting Today ’s Challenges And Preparing For The Future

The U.S. Navy remains a global force that is dominant, ready, and influential. A strong naval presence—through regionally concentrated, credible combat power as well as distributed, missiontailored forces—provides security and stability around the world. Operating above, on, and beneath the global maritime commons as well as ashore around the world, our Navy has demonstrated its resolve to support our friends and allies, support U.S. national interests, and preserve the ability to execute the strategic imperatives expressed in our Maritime Strategy: A Cooperative Strategy for 21st Century Seapower (CS 21). Taken together, these six imperatives support our commitment to winning our Nation’s wars while preventing future conflicts and maintaining protection of our homeland.

Strategic Imperatives • Limit regional conflict with forward deployed decisive maritime power • Deter major power war • Win our Nation’s wars • Contribute to homeland defense in depth • Foster and sustain cooperative relationships with more international partners • Prevent or contain local disruptions before they impact the global system

Our challenge is to apply seapower in a manner that protects U.S. vital interests even as it promotes greater collective security, stability, and trust. A Cooperative Strategy for 21st Century Seapower

These enduring imperatives are aligned with our national security objectives, which depend on protecting and sustaining the global, interconnected system through which we prosper. Reaffirming the Maritime Strategy, the 2010 Quadrennial Defense Review (QDR) identified four priority objectives: prevail in today’s wars, prevent and deter conflict, prepare to defeat adversaries and prevail in a wide range of contingencies, and preserve and enhance the all-volunteer force. In order to implement our strategic imperatives and the priorities of the QDR, the Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) continues to focus on three overarching objectives: building the future force, maintaining warfighting readiness, and developing and supporting Sailors, Navy civilians and their families. Through fiscally informed decisions within these objectives, Navy’s Program of Record sustains our capability for current operations while investing appropriately in our future Navy. Keeping our ships and aircraft operating forward while taking care of our people will maintain our ability to fight and win today’s wars, deter future potential conflicts, continue to build strong partnerships with like-minded nations, and respond to the myriad global commitments that define our contribution to the Nation. Investments in our future naval force must provide the capabilities for global operations and the capacities necessary to maintain strategic competitive advantages in mission areas such as electronic warfare (EW), anti-submarine warfare (ASW), ballistic missile defense (BMD), and strike warfare. Providing the credible combat power with adequate capacity to be successful in today’s fight

2

Navy Progra m Guide 2011

is also essential to the ability of our nation to deter major power conflicts. Our Navy continues to shape the force to meet the strategic imperatives today as well as potential future operations.

Core Capabilities The strength of our Navy can be characterized in the six core capabilities that support the strategic imperatives of the Maritime Strategy. These capabilities comprise the core of U.S. maritime power and reflect emphasis on activities that prevent war and build partnerships. These core capabilities are: • Forward Presence • Deterrence • Sea Control • Power Projection • Maritime Security • Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Response

Forward Presence is our Navy’s capability to sustain a force operating forward, away from U.S. shores. The steady-state operations of sea-based naval forces enhance joint access in forward operating areas while fostering the international navy-to-navy relationships that may alleviate diplomatic impediments to access. These operations also provide the means to overcome geographic and, when necessary, military challenges to access. Forward deployed naval forces deter adversaries; demonstrate U.S. commitment to our international partners; and respond rapidly to tension, coercion, crises and conflicts. Mindful of the sovereignty of other nations, our Navy maintains forces forward, supported by a robust Combat Logistics Force. These ships allow our fleet to remain deployed indefinitely, maintaining combat capabilities to assure allies and partners of our Nation’s ability to deter or quickly respond to disaster, crisis and aggression. Deterrence involves global, regional, and transnational efforts to deny aggressors any measure of success while providing the credible threat of prompt retaliation. Naval forces have historically provided deterrence through nuclear and conventional means to discourage aggression and dissuade adversaries from hostile action. The ability of naval forces to rapidly deploy and indefinitely sustain credible combat power worldwide provides national decision-makers with important tools to signal U.S. national resolve. A credible, forward-deployed combat force underpins assurance to regional allies and partners. In the 21st century, effective deterrence requires a comprehensive approach that includes all elements of national power. Naval forces employ a broad set of capabilities to assure partners, dissuade adversaries, and deter or limit hostile action. These include continued nuclear and conventional combat preeminence, as well 3

Meeting Today ’s Challenges And Preparing For The Future

as new capabilities to deter evolving threats posed by an array of current and potential adversaries. CS 21 calls for U.S. naval forces to build confidence and trust among nations through collective security efforts that focus on common threats and mutual interests. In this environment, deterrent effects are achieved through the inherent combat power of forward postured naval task forces, as well as globally distributed, mission-tailored forces engaged in fostering, expanding and strengthening cooperative relationships. Sea Control is the essence of seapower—it allows naval forces to close within striking distance of land to neutralize land-based threats to maritime access, which in turn enhances freedom of action at sea and the resulting ability to project power ashore. The interrelationship between sea control and power projection mandates that naval forces possess capabilities and capacity to concurrently shape conditions in the maritime, space and cyberspace domains, sufficient to accomplish our Nation’s defense strategy. The combatant commanders’ operational objectives, the strategic maritime geography, and the capabilities of potential adversaries drive the scale of forward naval presence and surge forces necessary to conduct effective local and regional sea control operations. Moreover, deployment of joint forces and their sustainment during crisis response operations ashore is dependent on secure sea lines of communication. As a result, naval forces must conduct sea control operations to enforce freedom of navigation, sustain unhindered global maritime commerce, prevent or limit the spread of conflict, and prevail in war. Power Projection in its broadest sense is “the ability of a nation to apply all or some of its elements of national power—political, economic, informational, or military—to rapidly and effectively deploy and sustain forces in and from multiple dispersed locations to respond to crises, to contribute to deterrence, and to enhance regional stability.” Globally distributed, mission-tailored and regionally concentrated naval forces both routinely project power using naval strike and Marine amphibious capabilities, across the range of military operations. To support large operations, these forces can rapidly aggregate when required to form strike forces capable of projecting overwhelming combat power from the sea. Gaining and maintaining operational access in a sophisticated hostile environment will invariably require the full spectrum of lethal, non-lethal, conventional and special capabilities possessed by the United States, applied synchronously to shape and achieve advantage across the sea, undersea, air, land, space and cyberspace domains. While the Navy is capable of overcoming geographic challenges inherent in projecting power globally and faces fewer impediments to access than the other Services, naval forces are increasingly challenged by capable anti-access and area-denial threats. Additionally, the advantages in naval force capability and capacity 4

Navy Progra m Guide 2011

relative to potential adversaries are declining over time. Coupled with an increasing number of diverse, concurrent crises, these circumstances demand that naval forces creatively apply their inherent adaptability, flexibility and reach to project power effectively. Maritime Security operations are conducted to protect sovereignty and maritime resources, support free and open seaborne commerce, and to counter maritime-related terrorism, weapons proliferation, transnational crime, piracy, environmental destruction, and illegal seaborne immigration. Effective maritime security requires a comprehensive effort to promote global economic stability and protect legitimate ocean-borne activities from hostile or illegal acts in the maritime domain. The size and complexity of the maritime commons create unique security challenges as terrorists and criminals leverage the easily accessible, unregulated expanse of the maritime domain to mask their illicit activities. Identifying, tracking, and neutralizing these threats is essential to U.S. national security and the global economy. Comprehensive maritime security, however, can only be achieved through the coordinated activities of governments, the private sector, and multinational organizations including naval and maritime security forces, law enforcement agencies, customs and immigration officials. The Navy plays a critical role in facilitating this coordination, and is uniquely manned, trained and equipped to assist allies and partners develop the maritime professionals, infrastructure, awareness and response capabilities that are prerequisites for maritime security. In addition to general purpose naval forces that conduct a variety of steady-state maritime security operations, the Navy provides unique capabilities from security forces and riverine squadrons to intelligence collectors and civil affairs teams. Our naval forces effectively conduct the full range of maritime security operations and are instrumental in building the capacity, proficiency and interoperability of partners and allies who share our aspiration to achieve security in the maritime commons. Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Response (HA/DR) activities are employed proactively, using globally distributed, mission-tailored naval forces. These forces address ally and partner needs that may not be directly related to national security, but reflect the values and desires of our Nation to render aid and reduce suffering. In so doing, these activities enhance or restore critical host nation capacity, provide an opportunity to engage with a broader cross-section of the host nation’s population, and build relationships that serve to increase trust. Activities undertaken during reactive HA/DR such as those conducted recently in the aftermath of devastating earthquakes in Haiti and the flood ravaged areas of Pakistan have a similar effect, but the often extreme circumstances and severe risks to the population that characterize such events demand an immediate response that can only be provided by expeditionary naval forces 5

Meeting Today ’s Challenges And Preparing For The Future

trained and proficient in diverse crisis response operations. During a crisis, naval forces work to quickly provide emergent medical care, food and water, basic sanitation, transportation, shelter, and the restoration of public infrastructure. HA/DR efforts are undertaken alongside the host nation; other participating nations; multinational, regional, and non-governmental organizations; and in close coordination with counterparts at the Department of State, USAID and other federal agencies. Operating without reliance on ports and airfields ashore, and in possession of organic medical support, strategic and tactical lift, logistics support, robust communications capabilities and premier planning and coordination tools, naval forces are well-suited for HA/DR efforts. The core capabilities described above enable the imperatives of our Maritime Strategy and QDR priorities. Through Navy’s focus on the following three overarching objectives; building the future force, maintaining warfighting readiness, and developing and supporting our Sailors, Navy civilians, and families, we continue to be a ready, capable and relevant global Navy.

Building the Future Force

The last ten years of conflict in the Middle East and increased operations around the world have placed heavy stress on our Fleet. As demands have grown, our Fleet size has decreased; today, our Fleet is the smallest it has been since 1916. Our shipbuilding plan grows our future Fleet to more than 300 ships, enhancing our ability to meet commitments and sustain global presence. In addition to increasing our capacity, we are evolving American Seapower to incorporate a better mix of capability. We are emphasizing operations in the littorals, expanding onto shore our proven capability in ballistic missile defense, and improving our operational agility in the space and cyberspace domains.

To maintain credible U.S. naval presence and combat power in the Middle East and Western Pacific, we will depend upon Ford and Nimitz-class aircraft carriers for forward air strike capability; Arleigh Burke-class destroyers for air and missile defense and surface warfare; and Virginia-class submarines to preserve surveillance and power projection in the face of growing threats to maritime access. For surveillance, ASW, and anti-surface warfare, we are complementing these ships with the new P-8A Poseidon multi-mission aircraft, the F/A-18 E/F Super Hornet and the F-35 Lightning II tactical aircraft, and the MH-60R and MH-60S Seahawk helicopters. To ensure the continuous presence of the most survivable leg of the nuclear deterrent triad, we are focusing on a replacement for the Ohio-class ballistic missile submarine. The littoral combat ship (LCS), already shown to be effective in deployments to South America and in Pacific exercises with maritime partner nations, are being built to deliver needed capabilities through its mine, surface, and anti-submarine warfare capabilities. In addition, the

Navy Progra m Guide 2011

joint high speed vessel (JHSV) will steadily expand our capacity to conduct security cooperation and training with partners, support operations ranging from HA/DR to major combat, and establish a “sea base” from which to operate. The increasing technological advancements of potential adversaries require expansion of capabilities in the areas of EW, ISR, and air and missile defense. Challenges to regional access are a major concern; we must be able to operate from the maritime domain in the face of proliferating threats such as ballistic and cruise missiles, torpedoes, mines, and communications jamming. Gaining and maintaining access in a sophisticated hostile environment requires a full spectrum of lethal, non-lethal, conventional and special capabilities. To that end, we are focusing on a variety of solutions to overcome anti-access/area denial (A2/AD) challenges and maintain freedom of action. Recognizing the need for an optimal blend of capabilities to meet a wide range of 21st century challenges, we are evolving expeditionary, unmanned systems, information, and cyber disciplines to strengthen capabilities in every domain our adversaries operate. Adjustments to expeditionary capabilities will reflect the new realities of a post OIF/OND environment. Riverine squadrons will be equipped with larger patrol craft to improve operational coverage of littoral coastal regions in addition to inland “brown water” zones. To increase situational awareness, speed decision-making, and improve operational responsiveness, we are developing unmanned systems with sophisticated sensing suites, improved persistence, and reach. Supporting capabilities, including integrated communications, processing, exploitation, and dissemination paths, will be designed to maximize efficiency and effectiveness of new ISR systems. Land-based Broad Area Maritime Surveillance (BAMS) aircraft will provide Navy Component Commanders the ability to search more than 40,000 square miles of ocean a day in long dwell orbits. From the sea, we will continue to deploy the MQ-8 Fire Scout surveillance VTUAV and develop a follow-on Small Tactical UAS, increasing the number of sorties for organic coverage and specialized irregular warfare missions. In the mid-term, we are building the first demonstrators of the Unmanned Carrier Launched Airborne Surveillance and Strike System (UCLASS) to extend the aircraft carrier strike group’s reach and versatility. We are developing a medium-range unmanned aerial system that will allow surface ships to see and act over hundreds of miles of surrounding ocean or land. We are also accelerating the development of unmanned undersea vehicles that will provide unique capabilities and improve our knowledge of the undersea and littoral battlespace. All of these capabilities require intense collaboration, internally and with our joint and industry partners, to improve “speed to the Fleet” in delivering game-changing technology to warfighters.

7

Meeting Today ’s Challenges And Preparing For The Future

We continue to develop our Information Dominance Corps to amplify combat capabilities and strengthen our ability to influence, deny, degrade, disrupt or destroy enemies in the informational, electromagnetic, and cyber domains. Investments in ashore and afloat transport networks, information assurance, cyber security, electronic warfare, and associated human expertise and tools will improve our posture in the information domain and help deliver decision superiority to commanders. Fleet Cyber Command / 10th Fleet will continue to mature its organization, skills, and authorities as it leverages joint and national capabilities in support of maritime missions.

Maintaining our Warfighting Readiness Sustaining our fleet capacity is one of the most pressing issues facing our Navy over the next decade. Capacity is a function not only of the number of platforms, but also of their materiel condition. Therefore, we are fully funding maintenance needed to allow the Fleet to meet expected ships’ service lives. Navy’s ships and aircraft have operated at an extremely high tempo for the last decade. This situation will likely persist, as high demand for maritime forces will continue into the future. Unlike other Services, when naval forces return to homeport, they “reset in stride,” conducting required maintenance upkeep, modernization and training between regularly-scheduled deployments. To ensure Navy’s rotational forces can redeploy as scheduled, depot maintenance programs for ships and aircraft are funded sufficiently to sustain service life in the face of high demand. While the “base budget” funds much of these critical accounts, supplemental funding for overseas contingency operations (OCO) remains crucial to sustain our Navy’s readiness to support high-tempo operations. OCO continues to ensure we have sufficient flying hours, steaming days, and maintenance funding for operations and training. Even with full funding for maintenance, demand for naval forces still exceeds supply. Ships and aircraft are exceeding projected utilization rates. For this reason, Navy has advocated within OSD for adjustments to the Fleet Response Plan in order to employ our naval forces in a more sustainable Fleet-wide optempo. In response to existing demands, we are focusing our readiness investments to prioritize deployment of combat-credible forces in the Western Pacific and the Middle East, ballistic missile defense to Europe, and globally distributing mission-tailored forces elsewhere. In order to meet global commitments, but do so in an energy-efficient manner, the Navy is aggressively moving to address energy challenges and costs. We are on track to deliver half of our total energy consumption from alternative energy sources, such as biofuels and flex fuels, by 2020. We will deploy a “green” carrier strike group by 2016. The Navy’s use of responsible technologies ashore and afloat will positively enhance our warfighting readiness. 8

Develop and Support Our Sailors, Navy Civilians, and Their Families Achieving the Nation’s strategic imperatives would be impossible if not for the skills, character, talents and innovative spirit of our Sailors, Navy civilians, and families who support them. Navy’s warfighters, both active and reserve components, are the most highly trained, motivated, and educated force we have ever employed. Taking care of families while our Sailors are deployed across the globe is one of the primary reasons Navy has been ranked as a “Top 50” employer. This remains one of our top priorities. Taking care of our people entails maintaining strong family support programs and quality housing, including Homeport Ashore opportunities for Sailors. We will sustain momentum in important personnel readiness, child development, and youth programs. Increased deployment intensity and dangerous duty assignments have heightened the importance of caring for the mental, emotional, and financial well-being of returning warriors and their families. We will maintain our support for warriors through world-class medical assistance, exemplified by such programs as Families OverComing Under Stress (FOCUS) and Overcoming Adversity and Stress Injury Support (OASIS). Safe Harbor will continue to coordinate non-medical care for wounded, ill and injured Sailors and their families to speed recovery, rehabilitation, and reintegration. The Navy places a high value on enhancing training and education to meet our global challenges. Training will be expanded to build up foreign language, regional, and cultural skills. These tools are needed to establish and foster relationships with a wide range of maritime partners and deepen our understanding of environments in which we operate. We are also investing in high-fidelity trainers and simulators to ensure our Sailors keep their competitive advantage in operating advanced and complex technical systems.

Conclusion We are, and will remain, a maritime Nation whose security and economic interests lie well beyond our shores. The need for strong naval forces to maintain influence across the global maritime commons will only grow in importance for the foreseeable future. A strong, relevant Navy will continue to be essential in shaping a favorable security environment and supporting our Nation’s prosperity. As articulated in our Maritime Strategy, the Navy remains committed to protecting our Nation’s vital interests throughout the globe. As we enter 2011, there are more than 14,500 Sailors on the ground and another 12,000 offshore in support of joint and coalition operations in the Central Command AOR. Our national interests, however, extend far beyond Iraq and Afghanistan; therefore so does our Navy with more than 40,000 Sailors deployed and almost half of our 288 ships underway around the world. Combatant Commanders worldwide recognize the value our Navy provides 9

Meeting Today ’s Challenges And Preparing For The Future

through its ability to overcome geographic and military boundaries to access. Our ships, aircraft, and Sailors operate to support day-to-day security and stability operations around the world. They combine to perform highly integrated operations as part of a joint or coalition force when necessary. Our Navy is flexible and adaptable enough to provide the full spectrum of capabilities: from a single Sailor serving in a Provincial Reconstruction Team (PRT) on the ground in Afghanistan to a multi-ship aircraft carrier strike group operating halfway around the globe. The Navy provides our Nation a force necessary to exert global influence, prevent conflict, promote security and stability, and win in combat. Our Navy is continuously present overseas to promote security without an increasingly controversial footprint on foreign soil. Finally, our true strength remains in the skills, character, talents, innovation, and dedicated service of our people. Our commitment to them, and investments in them, uniformed and civilian, active and reserve, and Navy families are the foundation of operational excellence and maritime dominance.

The following sections of the 2011 Program Guide describe the programs that the Navy has fielded and is currently developing, which enable the capabilities described above. While some programs contribute significantly to a single capability, many of them are designed to and are capable of supporting multiple core capabilities and mission requirements. The strength of the Navy’s forces lies in their adaptability and flexibility across the range of military operations.

Aircraft CARRIERS CVN 68 and CVN 21 Aircraft Carrier Programs Description The U.S. Navy’s force of 11 nuclear-powered aircraft carriers provides the operational flexibility and warfighting capability to meet all Fleet Response Plan (FRP) commitments, as well as the combatant commanders’ requirements for persistent presence in support of national goals. The aircraft carriers support and operate the aircraft that conduct attack, early warning, surveillance, and electronic missions during warfare against seaborne, airborne, and land-based targets in support of joint and coalition forces. America’s carriers deploy throughout the world in direct support of U.S. strategy and commitments. Additionally, our carriers play an important role as the Navy adjusts its emphasis toward the world’s littoral regions. This becomes especially important as forward-deployed land-based forces are brought home to the United States. To maintain a constant 11-carrier force for the next 30 years, aircraft carriers are replaced on a one-for-one basis, with a new ship planned for introduction into the Fleet every five years. Congress has approved a temporary reduction in the carrier fleet to 10 ships between the November 2012 inactivation of USS Enterprise (CVN 65), after nearly 52 years of service, and the commissioning of Gerald R. Ford (CVN 78) in 2015. The Ford CVN 78-class carriers are America’s first new class of aircraft carriers in almost 40 years. While nearly identical in size to Nimitz-class carriers, Ford-class ships will include upgraded hull, mechanical, electrical and electronics capabilities. The Ford class will also incorporate a new, more efficient nuclear propulsion plant; an Electro-Magnetic Aircraft Launch System (EMALS); Advanced Arresting Gear (AAG); and a nearly three-fold increase in electrical-generation capacity compared to a Nimitz-class carrier. These improvements, along with an expanded flight deck and other topside changes will provide significantly higher sortie-generation rates. At the same time, maintenance and manpower requirements for the ship will be greatly reduced allowing the Navy to reap more than $5 billion dollars in life-cycle cost savings per ship over a 50-year service life. The follow-ships, CVN 79 and CVN 80, will be built as repeats of CVN 78 at five-year intervals and are expected to deliver to the Fleet in 2020 and 2025, respectively. Subsequent hulls will also be built at five-year intervals, with a plan providing for the insertion of new technologies that have evolved in the previous decade. Status The George H. W. Bush (CVN 77), the tenth and final ship of the Nimitz-class, was commissioned in January 2009 and in early 2011 was undergoing initial training in preparation for a future deployment. Construction of Gerald R. Ford (CVN 78), the lead ship in the CVN 21 Program, was more than 15% complete in late 2010, at Northrop Grumman Newport News Shipbuilding in Newport News, Virginia. The ship is scheduled for delivery to the Navy in September 2015. Developers Northrop Grumman 12

Aircraft AH-1Z and UH-1Y Upgrades Description The H-1 Upgrade Program replaces the UH-1N and AH-1W aircraft with new UH-1Y and AH-1Z four-bladed, all-composite rotor system helicopters. The program will ensure that the Marine Air-Ground Task Force (MAGTF) possesses credible rotary-wing attack and utility-support platforms for the next 20 years. The H-1 Upgrade Program is designed to reduce life-cycle costs, significantly improve operational capabilities, and extend the service life of both aircraft. There is 84 percent commonality between the two aircraft, which will greatly enhance the maintainability and deployability of the systems, with the capability to support and operate both aircraft within the same squadron structure. The upgrade program includes a new four-bladed all-composite rotor system coupled with a sophisticated fully integrated glass cockpit. The program also incorporates a performance-matched transmission, four-bladed tail rotor drive system, and upgraded landing gear. The integrated glass cockpit with modern avionics systems will provide a more lethal platform as well as enhanced joint interoperability. Operational enhancements include a dramatic increase in range, speed, survivability, payload, and lethality of both aircraft, with a significant decrease in logistics footprint. The UH-1Y will operate at nearly twice the current range with more than double the payload, compared to legacy aircraft. The AH-1Z will realize similar performance increases, with the ability to carry twice the current load of precision-guided munitions. Status The 27 most recent production aircraft have delivered ahead of contract schedule at Bell Helicopter in Amarillo, Texas. Ninetyeight aircraft (Lots 1-7) are on contract, which includes 70 UH1Ys and 28 AH-1Zs, two of which are AH-1Z build-new (AH1ZBN). As of October 2010, 43 production aircraft (32 UH-1Ys and 11 AH-1Zs) have been delivered to the Fleet; Lot 1-4 aircraft deliveries are complete, and Lot 5 deliveries are on schedule. The Overarching Integrated Product Team recommended a paper Defense Acquisition Board (DAB) and re-designation of the program to Acquisition Category (ACAT) 1C. With one exception, all acquisition program baseline schedule dates are currently on track; the September 2012 Navy Support Date (full organic depot level capability) for both the UH-1Y and AH-1Z will slip to December 2015 due to a previously unfunded requirement for a gearbox test facility at Fleet Readiness Center (FRC) East, Cherry Point, North Carolina. MILCON funding for this facility is in the 2012 budget. The Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) projects sufficient repair capacity on the affected components to continue to provide OEM repair until organic capability is established. Impacts of this delay to overall Operations and Support (O&S) costs are expected to be minimal. The current Marine Corps program of record requirement is 160 UH-1Ys and 189 AH-1Zs.

AV-8B Harrier II+ Description The AV-8B Harrier II is a single-seat, light-attack aircraft that supports the MAGTF commander by engaging surface targets and escorting friendly aircraft, day or night, under all weather conditions during expeditionary, joint or combined operations. By virtue of its Vertical/Short Take-Off and Landing (V/STOL) capability, the AV-8B can operate from a variety of amphibious ships, rapidly constructed expeditionary airfields, forward sites (e.g., roads, Forward Operating Bases (FOBs)), and damaged conventional airfields. Two variants of the aircraft are in operational service: the Night Attack and the Radar/Night Attack Harrier. The Night Attack Harrier improved the original AV-8B design through incorporation of a Navigation, Forward-Looking Infrared (NAVFLIR) sensor, a digital color moving map, night vision goggle compatibility, and a higher performance engine. The Radar/Night Attack Harrier, or Harrier II+, has all the improvements of the Night Attack aircraft plus the APG-65 multi-mode radar. The fusion of night and radar capabilities allows the Harrier to be responsive to the MAGTF’s needs for expeditionary, night, and adverse weather offensive air support. Status Operational Flight Program (OFP) H5.0 integrates the Dual Mode Laser Guided Bomb and centerline LITENING pod carriage, and provides tremendous improvements in radar and LITENING Advanced Targeting Pod capability. FY 2011 will see the completion of testing of OFP H6.0, integrating digital improved triple ejector racks for increased carriage capacity for Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM), fully integrated ALE-47 decoy expendable hardware and software, adjustments for improving moving-target engagements, improved radar capability, and safety improvements. The AV-8B continues to maximize integration of the LITENING Advanced Targeting Pod, a third-generation dual TV/Infrared sensor providing target recognition and identification, laser designation and laser spot tracking for precision targeting capability. LITENING pods have also been equipped with a video downlink, which enables real-time video to be sent to ground-based commanders and forward-air controllers. This facilitates time-sensitive targeting and reduces the risk of fratricide and collateral damage. The Marine Corps is procuring LITENING Gen 4 pods with increased capability for employment on the AV-8B, F/A-18 Hornets, and EA-6B Prowlers. Program wholeness as well as warfighting capability enhancements are essential links to the Harrier providing continued support to the MAGTF. Developers Boeing

Broad Area Maritime Surveillance Unmanned Aircraft System (BAMS) Description The BAMS MQ-4C UAS is integral to the recapitalization of Navy’s airborne Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) capability inherent in the Maritime Patrol and Reconnaissance Force (MPRF). BAMS UAS on-station persistence enables unmatched Maritime Domain Awareness (MDA) by sustaining the maritime Common Operational Picture (COP) for surface warfare, overseas operations, and homeland defense. The system will act as a tripwire for surge forces, enhancing situational awareness of the battlespace and shortening the sensor-to-shooter kill chain. In its ISR role, it will support decision superiority precision and mobility while providing data and communication relay services that “net” the battlespace. BAMS UAS is a long endurance-class UAS that will operate from five land-based sites around the world. BAMS UAS will be co-located with the current P-3 aircraft, the planned P-8A, or the U.S. Air Force’s RQ-4B Global Hawk. Because BAMS UAS and the P-3/P-8A have related and complementary missions, co-location will enhance manpower, training, and maintenance efficiencies. Additionally, the Navy is pursuing BAMS UAS operational, training, and production commonalities with its sister system, the U.S. Air Force’s RQ-4B Global Hawk. The current Concept of Operations (CONOPS) includes systems of up to five air vehicles providing persistent ISR 24 hours a day, seven days a week, out to ranges of 2,000 nautical miles (NMs). Worldwide access is achieved by providing coverage over highdensity sea lanes, littorals, and areas of national interest from its operating locations. Status The BAMS UAS Analysis of Alternatives (AoA), Operational Requirements Document (ORD), Capability Development Document (CDD), and initial CONOPS are complete. Milestone B was achieved in April 2008, and System Development and Demonstration (SDD) initiated in August 2008. Milestone C is scheduled for 2013, and IOC is expected in FY 2016.

C-2A(R) Greyhound Description The C-2A Greyhound is the Navy’s sole Medium-Lift/Long-Range (ML/LR) logistics support aircraft, providing time critical support to carrier strike groups (CSG). Its primary mission is transport of high-priority cargo, mail, and passengers between the CSG and shore support bases. A high wing monoplane powered by twin Allison T56-A-425 turboprop engines and Hamilton-Standard constant-speed propellers, the C-2A can deliver a combined payload of 10,000 pounds to a distance in excess of 1,000 NMs. The interior arrangement of the cabin can readily accommodate cargo,

15

Section 1: naval aviation

passengers, and litter patients. Priority cargo such as jet engines or components can be transported from shore to ship in a matter of hours. A cargo cage system or transport stand provides restraint for loads during catapult launches and arrested landings. The large aft cargo ramp/door allows straight-in rear cargo loading and unloading for fast turnaround. The C-2A is capable of airdropping both supplies and personnel. Its onboard auxiliary power unit provides autonomous engine starting capability and ground power self-sufficiency at austere bases, providing operational versatility. Status The aircraft is currently undergoing a service life extension program (SLEP) to increase operating service life from 15,020 landings and 10,000 flight hours to 36,000 landings and 15,000 flight hours. The changes being incorporated include structural enhancements, aircraft rewire, cockpit avionics systems improvements, and a new 8-blade propeller system (NP2000). SLEP will make the C-2A a viable and maintainable platform until it is replaced. Additionally, as mandated by Congress and the Chief of Naval Operations (CNO), two passenger carrying safety requirements have been integrated into the C-2A, Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) and Terrain Awareness Warning System (TAWS).

C-40A Clipper Description The Naval Air Force Reserve provides 100 percent of the Navy’s organic intra-theater logistics airlift capability via its Navy Unique Fleet Essential Airlift (NUFEA) program. NUFEA provides Navy Component Commanders with short-notice, fast-response, and intra-theater logistics support for naval power projection worldwide. Twelve C-9B aircraft, which currently perform the majority of these services, are being replaced by the C-40A Clipper, a modified Boeing 737-700 series aircraft. This state-of-the-art aircraft– –not to be confused with Executive/VIP Transport––can transport 121 passengers (passenger configuration), 40,000 pounds of cargo (cargo configuration), or a combination of the two (combination configuration) at ranges greater than 3,000 NMs at Mach 0.8 cruise speed. The ability to simultaneously carry cargo pallets and passengers maximizes the operational capability, safety, and capacity. The C-40A has an electronic flight deck fully compliant with future communications, navigation, and air traffic control architectures; advanced-technology Stage III noise-compliant, fuel-efficient engines; and an integral cargo door/cargo handling system. Maximum gross take-off weight is 171,000 pounds. Status Nine aircraft are in the inventory in late 2010, with three additional aircraft on contract to be delivered by late spring 2012. The Navy is purchasing the aircraft via commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) standards using standard best commercial practices. Three aircraft are stationed in Naval Air Station (NAS) Joint Reserve Base (JRB) Fort Worth, Texas; NAS Jacksonville, Florida; and NAS North Island, San Diego, California. Developers Boeing

CH-53K Heavy-Lift Replacement (HLR) Description The CH-53K is the follow-on to the Marine Corps CH-53E Heavy Lift Helicopter. Major systems improvements of the newly manufactured helicopter include new, greater horsepower, and more capable engines; expanded gross weight airframe and drive train; advanced composite rotor blades; modern interoperable cockpit, external and internal cargo handling systems; and survivability. The CH-53K will be capable of externally lifting 27,000 pounds on a “sea level hot day” (103° Fahrenheit) to a range of 110 NMs and dropping cargo in a landing zone at a pressure altitude of 3,000 feet at 91.5 degrees Fahrenheit, a capability improvement that nearly triples the current CH-53E abilities under the same conditions. Additionally, the CH-53K will be capable of carrying a normal load of 30 combat-loaded troops. The CH-53K’s increased capabilities are essential to meeting the Marine Expeditionary Brigade of 2015 Ship-to-Objective Maneuver (STOM) vision and it fully supports the Joint Operations Concept of Full Spectrum Dominance and Sea Power 21 by enabling rapid, decisive operations and the early termination of conflict by projecting and sustaining forces to distant anti-access, area-denial environments. Expeditionary Maneuver Warfare (EMW) establishes the basis for the organization, deployment, and employment of the Marine Corps to conduct maneuver warfare and provides the doctrine to make joint and multinational operations possible. Status The Navy awarded a Post Milestone (MS) B SDD contract of $2.7 billion to Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation on April 5, 2006. The program conducted its Preliminary Design Review (PDR) during the fourth quarter FY 2008. The Critical Design Review (CDR) was successfully completed ahead of schedule in the third quarter of FY 2010, and the program has now transitioned from the design to the manufacturing phase.

CNATRA Naval Aviation Training Aircraft Description Commander Naval Air Training Command’s (CNATRA) mission, to safely train and produce the world’s finest combat quality aviation professionals––Aviators and Military Flight Officers––and deliver them at the right time, in the right numbers, and at the right cost to the Fleet for follow-on tasking in current operations, is key to affordable readiness. CNATRA’s training aircraft inventory includes the T-34 Turbo Mentor, T-6 Texan II, T-45 Goshawk, TH-57 Sea Ranger, T-44 Pegasus, TC-12 Huron, and T-39 Sabreliner. The first aircraft that all aspiring future USN/USMC pilots and flight officers fly are the T-34C Turbo Mentor or the T-6B Texan II (pilots) and the T-6A Texan II (flight officers). The T-34 began its Navy career in 1977 and has successfully completed its service at NAS Pensacola where it was the primary training aircraft for the Undergraduate Military Flight Officer (UMFO) syllabus. All primary UMFO training is now conducted in the T-6A. The Joint Primary Aircraft Training System (JPATS) comprises the T-6, flight simulators, computer-aided academics, and a Training Integration Management System (TIMS). The aircraft, built by Hawker Beechcraft Corporation, is a derivative of the Swiss Pilatus PC-9 aircraft and features a Pratt & Whitney PT-6A-68 engine, a digital cockpit, ejection seats, and cockpit pressurization and onboard oxygen-generating systems. The T-34C continues to be used for primary pilot training at NAS Whiting Field and at NAS Corpus Christi, but will be replaced by the T-6B. The transition to the T-6B began in April 2010 at NAS Whiting Field and is scheduled to commence in FY 2012 at NAS Corpus Christi. The T-45 Goshawk, the Navy version of the British Aerospace Hawk aircraft, is used for intermediate and advanced training in the strike (jet) pilot syllabi. Upgrades to the T-45 include the conversion from analog (T-45A) to digital cockpits (T-45C), resolving an engine surge issue to enhance fuel efficiency and safety, and preservation of current aircraft through service life assessment and service life extension programs. The TH-57 Sea Ranger, the Navy version of the commercial Bell Jet Ranger, is used for advanced training in the rotary-wing (helicopter) pilot syllabus. The TH-57B (visual flight), the TH-57C (instrument flight) and associated simulators will be converted from analog to digital cockpits (TH-57D), guaranteeing aircraft availability and relevance through 2030. The T-44 Pegasus and the TC-12 Huron are both twin turboprop, pressurized, fixed-wing aircraft that are used for intermediate and advanced training in the multi-engine and tilt-rotor pilot syllabi. Future improvements to the T-44 include the replacement of wing wiring, simulator upgrades and the conversion from analog to digital cockpits (T-44C). The T-39 Sabreliner is a multi-purpose low-wing, twin turbojet aircraft that has been in naval service since the early 1990s. The 19

Section 1: naval aviation

T-39 is used for intermediate and advanced training in the strike/ strike-fighter UMFO syllabi. The T-45 is currently being used for the tactical maneuvering portion of strike/strike-fighter UMFO syllabus and will replace the T-39 as the advanced phase radar trainer in FY 2013 with the integration of the Virtual Mission Training System (VMTS), an embedded synthetic radar training system. CNATRA has recently charted a course to revolutionize UMFO training by employing the T-6, the T-45C with VMTS, and highfidelity simulators to train future UMFOs. This new training program will capitalize on cutting-edge technologies, allowing the Navy to divest of the aging T-39 platform. The new training syllabus is planned to achieve IOC at NAS Pensacola in FY 2013. Status The T-6 is currently in production with a planned inventory objective of 315 aircraft.

E-2C/D Hawkeye Airborne Early Warning Aircraft Description The E-2C Hawkeye is the Navy’s airborne surveillance and Battle Management Command and Control (BMC2) platform, providing support of decisive power projection at sea and over land in a joint operational architecture. In addition to current capabilities, the E-2 has an extensive upgrade and development program to improve the capability of the aircraft as it is a critical element in the overall Integrated Air and Missile Defense (IAMD) program. Two upgrades will ensure the E-2 keeps pace with changing tactical environments: the E-2C Hawkeye 2000 and the E-2D Advanced Hawkeye. The E-2C Hawkeye 2000, with the APS-145 radar, features a Mission Computer Upgrade (MCU), Cooperative Engagement Capability (CEC), improved Electronic Support Measures (ESM), Link-16, Global Positioning System (GPS), and satellite data and voice capability. The MCU greatly improves weapons systems processing power, enabling incorporation of CEC. In turn, the CEC-equipped Hawkeye 2000s significantly extends the engagement capability of air defense ships. It is the key to early cueing of the Aegis Weapons System, dramatically extending the lethal range of the Navy’s ship-launched Standard Missile. The E-2D Advanced Hawkeye, with the APY-9 radar, is a two-generation leap in technology, which brings an improved over-thehorizon, overland, and littoral detection and tracking capability to the strike group. The APY-9, coupled with CEC, Link-16, and the Advanced Tactical Data Link (ADL), fully integrates the E-2D Advanced Hawkeye into the Joint Integrated Air and Missile De20

fense (JIAMD) role. The APY-9’s advanced detection and tracking capability, in conjunction with Aegis and the upgraded Standard Missile, as well as, the F/A-18 Hornet and its upgraded AIM-120 Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missile (AMRAAM), will allow strike groups to deploy an organic, theater-wide air and cruise missile defense capability to protect high-priority areas and U.S. and coalition forces ashore and afloat. The E-2D will continue as the airborne “eyes and ears” of the Fleet as it applies its capabilities in the integrated joint, overland, theater-wide air, and cruise missile-defense environment. Status In late 2010 there were 68 E-2C aircraft in the Fleet, 27 of which are Hawkeye 2000s. Two E-2D Advanced Hawkeye System Development and Demonstration aircraft are in flight test at NAS Patuxent River, Maryland. First flight took place in August 2007 and to date the aircraft is meeting or exceeding all Key Performance Parameters (KPPs). In addition to a comprehensive developmental test program, the E-2D successfully executed a second operational assessment in August 2010. Two of three pilot production aircraft have been delivered to support testing and initial training, with the Fleet Replacement Squadron (FRS) receiving their first E-2D on July 29th, 2010, in a ceremony officiated by the CNO. Five Low Rate Initial Production (LRIP) aircraft were in production at St. Augustine in late 2010. Four lots of LRIP aircraft are planned for procurement through FY 2012, with delivery scheduled two years after procurement, beginning in 2011. Full rate production begins in FY 2013 with an objective of 75 aircraft. Operational evaluation (OPEVAL) is planned for FY 2012 and the first fleet squadron will begin the transition to E-2D in 2013 with IOC and first deployment planned for October 2014.

EA-6B Prowler Airborne Electronic Attack Aircraft Description The EA-6B Prowler provides Electronic Warfare (EW) capabilities, most notably Airborne Electronic Attack (AEA) and Anti-Radiation Missile (ARM), against enemy systems operating within the radio frequency spectrum. EA-6B capabilities have traditionally enhanced the strike capabilities of aircraft carrier air wings and Marine Air Ground Task Force operations. The need for EW has increased during numerous joint and allied operations since 1995, against traditional and non-traditional target sets in support of ground forces. These capabilities continue to be required in Overseas Contingency Operations (OCO), particularly in Afghanistan and Iraq, where EA-6B operations protect coalition forces and disrupt critical command and control links. The enormous demand for AEA in Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) and Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) has driven EA-6B use rates to record levels. Status The EA-6B Improved Capability (ICAP) III upgrade reached IOC in September 2005. This generational leap in EW capability deployed for the first time in 2006. ICAP III includes a completely redesigned receiver system (ALQ-218), new displays, and MIDS/ Link-16, which dramatically improve joint interoperability. The Navy will eventually “sundown” the Prowler and transition to an all EA-18G Growler force by 2015. The Marine Corps has transitioned its first ICAP III squadron and will complete its transition to an all ICAP III force by 2012. The Marines plan to fly the EA-6B through 2019. Its planned replacement is a series of networked payloads forming a system of systems, labeled MAGTF EW, which will provide increased capacity scalable to meet the requirements of Marine and joint commanders.

EA-18G Growler Airborne Electronic Attack Aircraft Description The EA-18G Growler will replace the Navy’s EA-6B Prowler. Like the Prowler, the EA-18G will provide full-spectrum electronic attack to counter enemy air defenses and communication networks. The Growler will maintain a high degree of commonality with the F/A-18F Hornet, retaining the latter’s inherent strike-fighter and self-protection capabilities while providing air-to-air self-protection to free other assets for other strike-fighter tasking. Status The EA-18G Growler reached IOC in September 2009 and was approved to enter Full Rate Production (FRP) shortly afterward in November 2009. In December 2009, the Department of Defense made the decision to continue the Navy Expeditionary Airborne Electronic Attack mission and recapitalize the Navy EA-6B expeditionary force with the EA-18G. As a result, the first squadrons to transition to the EA-18G will become expeditionary squadrons with the exception of VAQ-141, which will remain carrier based. VAQ-132 is the first EA-18G expeditionary squadron to deploy. Through late 2010, 34 EA-18G aircraft have been delivered with another 22 aircraft scheduled for delivery in FY 2011. An inventory objective of 114 aircraft is planned to support ten carrierbased squadrons, three active expeditionary squadrons, and one reserve squadron. Full Operational Capability (FOC) is planned for FY 2015. Developers Boeing Northrop Grumman Corporation

EP-3E Modification and Sustainment Description The EP-3E is the Navy’s only airborne Information Warfare (IW) and tactical Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) platform supporting naval and joint commanders. EP-3Es provide long-range, highendurance support to carrier strike groups and expeditionary strike groups in addition to performing independent maritime operations. The current force consists of two active duty squadrons based at NAS Whidbey Island, Washington. The EP-3E fleet is focused on sustainment and modernization to keep pace with emerging threats until a replacement capability can be fielded. Status Sustainment: EP-3Es will be sustained through a series of Special Structural Inspections (SSIs) and Special Structural Inspection-Kits (SSI-Ks). SSIs provide inspection and repairs necessary to ensure safety of flight until more comprehensive maintenance can be performed. SSI-Ks provide pre-emptive modification and replacement of critical structural components to allow up to 7,000 additional flight 23

hours. A lower wing surface (Zone 5) modification program and outer-wing replacements were instituted after analysis revealed that the rear area of Zone 5 experienced fatigue much worse than previously estimated. These programs will allow sustainment of the EP-3E fleet until a new capability is developed. Modernization: The original EP-3E Joint Airborne SIGINT Architecture Modification (JMOD) program was designed to accelerate advanced capabilities to the fleet. The resultant JMOD Common Configuration (JCC) program aligns mission systems to meet the challenges of rapidly emerging threat technology and also addresses obsolescence issues. Using spiral developments, JCC is IP-based SCI network capable and includes improved ELINT and COMINT capabilities, multi-platform geo-location capabilities, advanced Special Signals Collection (SSC) capability, and IW/Information Operations (IO) capability, and incorporates quick-reaction capabilities (QRCs) developed for OEF/OIF. JCC is also equipped with FLIR and remote reachback capabilities in response to surge requirements for current operations. In order to ensure EP-3E relevance beyond FY 2020, the aircraft have received ISR task force modifications and continue to incorporate QRCs in response to critical warfighter demands. The Recapitalization Capabilities Migration (RCM) program will allow development of the EP-3E and also vital testing of equipment for the next generation of Intelligence Surveillance Reconnaissance and Targeting (ISR&T) platforms. JCC Spiral 3 upgrade allows the EP-3E to better pace the enemy threat by providing faster, more precise geo-location capability and allowing for better precision targeting and I&W against our enemy’s rapidly developing technology. It also shortens the kill-chain and reduces risk of fratricide. The first JCC Spiral 3 aircraft is currently undergoing developmental testing.

F/A-18A-D Hornet Strike-Fighter Aircraft Description The F/A-18 Hornet is a multi-mission strike fighter that combines the capabilities of a fighter and an attack aircraft. The single-seat F/A-18A and two-seat F/A-18B became operational in 1983. Eventually, the Hornet replaced the Navy’s A-6, A-7, and F-4 and the Marine Corps’ F-4 aircraft. Reliability and ease of maintenance were emphasized in the Hornet’s design, and F/A-18s have consistently flown three times as many hours without failure as other Navy tactical aircraft, while requiring half the maintenance time. The F/A-18 is equipped with a digital fly-by-wire flight control system that provides exceptional maneuverability and allows the pilot to concentrate on operating the aircraft’s weapons system. A solid thrust-to-weight ratio and superior turn characteristics, combined with energy sustainability, enable the Hornet to hold its own against any adversary. The ability to sustain evasive action is what many pilots consider to be the Hornet’s finest trait. The F/A-18 is the Navy’s first tactical jet to incorporate digital-bus architecture for the entire avionics suite, making this component of the aircraft relatively easy to upgrade on a regular and affordable basis. Following a production run of more than 400 F/A-18A/Bs, deliveries of the single-seat F/A-18C and two-seat F/A-18D began in September 1987. The F/A-18C/D models incorporated upgrades for employing updated missiles and jamming devices. These versions are armed with the AIM-120 AMRAAM and the infrared-imaging version of the AGM-65 Maverick. The Hornet has been battle tested and proved to be a highly reliable and versatile strike fighter. Navy and Marine Corps Hornets were in the forefront of strikes in Afghanistan in 2001 during Operation Enduring Freedom and continue serving in Operations Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom. The latest lot of F/A-18C/D Hornets is far more capable than the first F/A-18A/Bs. Although the F/A18C/D’s growth is now limited, the Hornet will continue to fill carrier air wings for years to come, before gradually giving way to the larger, longer-range and more capable F/A-18E/F Super Hornet and the F-35 Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter (JSF). The last Hornet, an F/A-18D, rolled off the Boeing production line in August 2000. Status As of October 2010, the Navy and Marine Corps had 98 F/A-18A, 26 F/A-18B, 376 F/A-18C, and 133 F/A-18D aircraft in service and test roles, and two NF/A-18C and two NF/A-18D versions in permanent test roles. Hornets equip 27 active Navy and Marine Corps and three Navy and Marine Corps Reserve strike fighter squadrons, two FRS, three air test and evaluation squadrons, the Navy’s Flight Demonstration Squadron (Blue Angels), the Naval Strike & Air Warfare Center, and the Naval Test Pilot School.

F/A-18E/F Super Hornet Strike-Fighter Aircraft Description The multi-mission F/A-18E/F Super Hornet strike fighter is an evolutionary upgrade of the F/A-18C/D Hornet. The F/A-18E/F is able to conduct unescorted strikes against highly defended targets early in a conflict. The Super Hornet provides the carrier strike group with a strike fighter that has significant growth potential, more than adequate carrier-based landing weight, range, endurance, and ordnance-carrying capabilities comparable to those of the F-14 Tomcat and F/A-18A/C Hornet it replaces. The singleseat F/A-18E and the two-seat F/A-18F have a 25 percent larger wing area and a 33 percent higher internal fuel capacity that effectively increase endurance by 50 percent and mission range by 41 percent. Its carrier-recovery payload is more than 9,000 pounds. The Super Hornet incorporates two additional wing stations that allow for increased payload flexibility in the mix of air-to-air and air-to-ground ordnance. It has five “wet” stations that give the Super Hornet in-flight tanker capability, allowing it to replace the S-3 Viking in the tanking role. The Super Hornet is also able to carry a full array of the newest joint “smart” weapons—e.g., the Joint Direct Attack Munition and the Joint Standoff Weapon (JSOW). The Super Hornet has the ability to recover aboard a carrier with optimum reserve fuel while carrying a load of precision-strike weapons. The Super Hornet also has the space, power, and cooling capability needed to accommodate valuable but installationsensitive avionics when they become available, including the Active Electronically Scanned-Array (AESA) radar. Compared to the F-14 Tomcat, the Super Hornet’s cost per flight hour is 40 percent lower, and the Super Hornet requires 75 percent fewer labor hours per flight hour. Sophisticated systems––such as the Integrated Defensive Electronic Countermeasures System (IDECMS); Advanced Targeting Forward Looking Infrared (ATFLIR), Joint Helmet-Mounted Cueing System (JHMCS); JDAM and JSOW; AIM9X missile; SHARP Shared Reconnaissance Pod; APG-79 AESA radar and advanced mission computers and displays––make the F/A-18E/F an extremely capable and lethal strike platform. Future planned upgrades include Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile (JASSM) and Advanced Aft-Cockpit Crew Station. The first operational F/A-18E Super Hornet squadron deployed on board the USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72) on July 24, 2002, for a tenmonth initial deployment. F/A-18E/F Super Hornets remain at the forefront of combat operations in both Afghanistan and Iraq. Super Hornet squadrons have been integrated into all ten US Navy air wings and with future capability upgrades are well suited to complement the arrival of the F-35 JSF. Status As of October 2010, there are 185 F/A-18E models and 226 F/A18F models in the U.S. Navy inventory. The F/A-18E will supplement and eventually replace the older F/A-18C, while the F/A-18F version has replaced the F-14 in Fleet service. Developers Boeing General Electric

Medium-Range Maritime UAS (MRMUAS) Description In FY 2010, the Office of the Chief of Naval Operations (OPNAV) conducted the Medium-Range Maritime UAS Capabilities Based Assessment. The draft MRMUAS CBA identified gaps in range, endurance, and intelligence-collection capabilities for a maritimebased airborne platform. In addition, the Maritime Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) support to Special Operations Forces (SOF) Initial Capabilities Document identified airborne ISR capable of sea- and land-basing as a gap in support to SOF missions. The Navy (OPNAV N2N6) identified funding in FY 2012 to develop and procure a system capable of operation from any air-capable ship to close these gaps. The envisioned system will perform up to eight hours of effective on-station time; it will have the capability to carry modular multi-mission ISR payloads and/or weapons. The system would possess both line-of-sight and beyond line of sight communications capability for air vehicle control and sensor data dissemination. Status FY 2012 represents a new start budget submission. The program will be structured to match program resources to United States Navy and Joint objectives/constraints with the goal of delivering an initial capability in FY 2019. Developers To be determined.

MH-60 R/S Seahawk Multi-Mission Combat Helicopters Description The MH-60R and MH-60S multi-mission combat helicopters are the two pillars of the CNO’s Naval Helicopter Concept of Operations for the 21st Century.

Navy Unmanned Combat Aircraft System Demonstration (UCAS-D) Description The Navy Unmanned Combat Air System Demonstration (UCAS-D) evolved from the joint Navy/Air Force development program called J-UCAS. The 2006 QDR and other program decisions restructured the J-UCAS program to initiate development of an “unmanned longer-range carrier-based aircraft...to provide greater standoff capability...and increase naval reach and persistence.” Program management and associated technologies were transferred to the Navy in August 2006. The initial efforts in the UCAS program are to demonstrate critical technologies for a carrier suitable low-observable (LO) air vehicle in a relevant environment (UCAS-D) and to conduct automated air refueling (AAR) 30

Navy Progra m Guide 2011

demonstrations. These and other risk reduction efforts must be completed to achieve the appropriate Technology Readiness Level (TRL-6) in preparation for a future acquisition program. The UCAS-D air vehicles will neither carry weapons nor be operational, as they will not include any mission systems or sensors. Future UCAS technology development areas include transformational communications, integrated advanced propulsion, carrier-suitable materials, LO sensors and apertures, sense and avoid functionality (operating in a LO environment), and expanded autonomous operations. Critical technological risks are associated with landing unmanned LO shapes on board ships, the integration of UCAS into manned carrier air wing operations, and high levels of vehicle and sensor autonomy. A deliberate and step-wise approach is required to successfully make this transformation. The Navy is also exploring the capabilities required for a future unmanned, carrier-based aircraft that could conduct ISR and precision-strike missions. Status On August 1, 2007, Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation was awarded the UCAS-D contract. Demonstration areas for shipboard operations include catapult launches, arrested landings, and flight in the vicinity of an aircraft carrier. Two air vehicles are being built for the UCAS-D, with first flight of Air Vehicle #1 completed in FY 2010. Carrier operations are to be conducted with both air vehicles in FY 2012. The AAR efforts will be conducted with Air Vehicle #2 after the CV demonstration. Developers Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation

P-3C Orion Modification, Improvement, and Sustainment Description A key enabler to the tri-service maritime strategy, the legacy P-3C Orion provides Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW), Anti-Surface Warfare (ASUW), and Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) capabilities to naval and joint commanders. The P-3C contributes directly to maritime domain awareness across the globe in support of carrier and expeditionary strike groups. Squadrons are based in Jacksonville, Florida; Whidbey Island, Washington; and Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii. An airframe in very high demand, the Navy’s P-3 roadmap focuses on three areas: airframe sustainment; mission systems sustainment; and re-capitalization by the P-8A Poseidon to provide a force optimized for regional and littoral crisis and conflict. Specific program elements include: Airframe Sustainment: In 2003 a service life assessment program (SLAP) was completed to determine what actions must be taken to safely extend the P-3C airframe service life. Based on SLAP data, the Navy determined that all P-3s require varying degrees of fatigue 31

Section 1: naval aviation

inspections and/or repairs at periodic intervals throughout their service lives. Initially a three-tiered approach was undertaken to address fatigue critical areas that included Special Structural Inspections (SSI), Enhanced Special Structural Inspections (ESSI), and Special Structural Inspection Kits (SSI-K), implemented with the objective of minimizing investment requirements to safely enable sustainment of the P-3C fleet until the P-8A IOC/FOC. SSIs provided fatigue inspections and subsequent repairs necessary to ensure safety of flight until more comprehensive maintenance could be performed. ESSI (FY 2003-06) and the follow-on SSI-K (FY 2005-current) program of record provide pre-emptive modification and replacement of critical airframe structural components to enable the airframe to reach its designed service life. In December 2007, 39 aircraft were grounded as a result of P-3C Fatigue Life Management Program (FLMP) analysis that revealed the aft lower surface of the outer-wing (Zone 5) experienced fatigue at higher levels than previously estimated. Subsequently, the CNO approved a P-3 Recovery Plan that included a dual-path approach to structurally modify outer wings in order to return grounded aircraft back to the Fleet. The dual-path approach encompassed targeted Zone 5 modifications, which included limited replacement of outer-wing components, as well as the manufacturing and installation of new outer-wing assemblies. Though P-3C fatigue and material condition continues to be evaluated via FLMP and remains a persistent risk, inspection, repair, and modification efforts remain essential to sustaining the P-3C fleet until the P-8A starts replacing the P-3C in 2013. Mission Systems Sustainment: The Mission System Sustainment program is designed to improve aircraft availability through replacement and upgrades of obsolete systems with modern and more reliable hardware systems and software. These programs ensure the P-3C continues to meet the Navy’s ASW, ASUW, Overthe-Horizon Targeting, and C4ISR requirements, while also reducing risk in mission system migration/integration for the P-8A Poseidon. Recapitalization: The P-8A Poseidon recapitalizes the Maritime Patrol ASW, ASUW, and armed ISR capabilities that reside in P-3 squadrons. The P-8A will start to fill the P-3C capability in 2013. Status With more than 100 aircraft having been periodically grounded for fatigue since 2005, P-3 sustainment and modernization programs remain critical to ensure successful transition to the P-8A Poseidon. Continued groundings are expected during semiannual updates to individual airframe fatigue analysis. Through CY 2010, 87 SSIs were completed (inspection and repair efforts finished), 39 ESSIs were completed (inspection and repair efforts finished), 29 SSI-Ks were completed with 29 aircraft and 13 rotable wingsets in work, and 31 Zone 5 modifications have been completed with 31 aircraft and 11 rotable wingsets in work. Procurement of 17 outer wing assemblies was initiated in 2008 with installs commencing in 2010 (up to 29 planned).

Status The MMA program received a Milestone 0 decision in March 2000 and explored concepts for MMA with industry. Included in the concepts was the integration of UAVs to augment MMA capability. An analysis of alternatives began in the summer of 2000 and leveraged previous analyses and the results of the industry studies. The AoA concluded that manned aircraft are an essential element of providing broad- area maritime and littoral armed ISR, and that UAVs provided a transformational opportunity for obtaining additional capability for warfighters. In 2002, the Navy re-engaged industry in Component Advanced Development, refining concepts, matching architecture to fill the Navy vision, and validating requirements. The Under Secretary of Defense (AT&L) approved a revised acquisition strategy to focus MMA on P-3 replacement, not a P-3 service life extension. The Operational ORD/CDD was endorsed by the Navy staff and received the required certifications from the Joint staff in preparation for a 2004 Milestone B (entry into SDD). That milestone was successfully passed in May 2004 and the Navy selected the McDonnell-Douglas Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Boeing Company, as the single system integrator in June 2004. P-8A completed Preliminary Design Review in November 2005, Critical Design Review in June 2007, and Design Readiness Review in August 2007. The program successfully passed Milestone C on 27 August 2010 and received permission from USD AT&L to buy three Low Rate Initial Production lots totaling 24 aircraft. The first lot of six P-8As will be delivered in FY 2012 to support an Initial Operational Capability in FY 2013. Developers Boeing

Aviation Weapons AGM-88E Advanced Anti-Radiation Guided Missile (AARGM) Description The Navy’s AGM-88E AARGM is the latest evolution of the Highspeed Anti-Radiation Anti-Missile (HARM) weapon system. HARM is the Navy’s only anti-radiation, defense-suppression, airto-surface missile. Employed successfully in naval operations for decades, HARM is designed to destroy or suppress broadcasting enemy electronic emitters, especially those associated with radar sites used to direct anti-aircraft guns and surface-to-air missiles. AGM-88B (Block IIIA) and AGM-88C (Block V) are the fielded fleet configurations of HARM. The legacy HARM program was a joint-service program with the Navy as lead service. The AGM-88E project upgrades a portion of existing HARM missile inventory with a new guidance section incorporating multi-sensor, multispectral digital anti-radiation homing detection capability, GPS/ INS) guidance, and a millimeter-wave terminal seeker. AARGM also includes a netted situation awareness/targeting capability and weapon impact assessment reporting via direct connectivity with national technical means. The AARGM system will provide the U.S. Navy/Marine Corps and the Italian Air Force with a transformational and affordable destruction of enemy air defenses (DEAD) and time-sensitive strike capability upgrade to HARM. The U.S. DoD and the Ministry of Defense of the Republic of Italy have signed an international MoA for cooperative development of AGM-88E. Status The AGM-88E is an ACAT-IC SDD program with a planned IOC in 2011. The AARGM inventory objective is 1,750 tactical rounds for integration on F/A-18C/D/E/F and EA-18G aircraft. The Italian Air Force will integrate AARGM on their Tornado ECR aircraft. AARGM was successfully demonstrated in eight developmental test firings and is scheduled to begin initial operational test and evaluation (IOT&E) in late 2010 or early 2011. Developers ATK Raytheon

AIM-120 Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missile (AMRAAM) Description AIM-120 AMRAAM is an all-weather, all-environment radarguided missile developed by the Air Force and Navy. The missile is deployed on the F/A-18A+/C/D Hornet and the F/A-18E/F Super Hornet, and will be deployed on the EA-18G and Joint Strike Fighter aircraft. Entering the fleet in September 1993, AMRAAM has evolved to maintain air superiority through pre-planned product improvement (P3I) programs. This modernization plan includes clipped wings for internal carriage, a propulsion enhancement program, increased warhead lethality, and enhanced electronic counter-countermeasures (ECCM) capabilities through hardware and software upgrades. Most importantly to the warfighter, the missile has improved capabilities against low- and high-altitude targets in an advancing threat environment. AMRAAM is expected to be the sole medium/beyond visual range (M/BVR) missile with the “sundown” of the AIM-7 Sparrow by the end of the Future Years Defense Program (FYDP). The Department of the Navy is investigating follow-on options for BVR missile capabilities to match the NAV2031 requirements. Status The AIM-120C7 missile variant is a product of P3I and it IOC’d in FY 2008. AIM-120C7 completed production in FY 2008 as AIM-120D production began. AIM-120D IOC is scheduled for FY 2012. Developers Raytheon

AIM-9X Sidewinder Short Range Air-to-Air Missile (SRAAM) Description The AIM-9X is the latest in the Sidewinder series. It is a 5th generation IR launch-and-leave missile with superior detection and tracking capability, high off-boresight capability, robust IR counter-countermeasures (IRCCM), enhanced maneuverability, and growth potential via software improvements. The AIM-9X development leveraged existing AIM-9M components to minimize development risk and cost. AIM-9X achieved IOC in FY 2004 and is in production for both the U.S. and FMS customers. Various independent obsolescence and P3I efforts have been on-going since IOC. A series of independent engineering change proposals (ECPs) provided improved performance in terms of faster processors in the guidance control unit, an improved fuze/target detector (DSU-41), and smaller components freeing up space within the missile. Exploiting these improvements and additional space as part of an integrated solution provided an opportunity to increase the AIM-9X capability beyond what is fielded. The warfighter has documented these requirements in the AIM-9X Block II Capability Production Document (CPD) currently in Navy staffing. Status More than 900 9X Block I all-up rounds (AUR) and 350 Block I captive air-training missiles (CATM) have been delivered to 36

AGM-154 Joint Standoff Weapon (JSOW) Description JSOW is a family of armaments that permit naval aircraft to attack targets at increased standoff distances. The weapons use GPS and INS for guidance. All JSOW variants share a common body but can be configured for use against area targets or bunker penetration. The JSOW Unitary (JSOW-C) variant adds an imaging IR seeker and autonomous target acquisition (ATA) to attack point targets with precision accuracy. The JSOW-C-1 will incorporate new target-tracking algorithms into the seeker for moving targets, giving the joint force commanders an affordable, air delivered, standoff weapon that is effective against fixed and re-locatable land targets, as well as maritime targets. Used in conjunction with accurate targeting information and anti-radiation weapons, JSOW-C-1 will destroy enemy air defenses, creating sanctuaries that permit the rapid transition to low-cost, direct-attack ordnance. Status AGM-154A reached IOC in 1999, and the AGM-154C variant achieved IOC in FY 2005. Procurement of JSOW C continues until FY 2011 when procurement of the JSOW C-1 will begin. JSOW C-1 is planned to be procured until 2020. Developers Raytheon

Airborne Mine Neutralization System (AMNS) Description The AMNS is an expendable, remotely operated mine neutralization device that leverages non-developmental integration and COTS technologies. Deployed from MH-60S helicopters, it provides identification and neutralization of “proud” (i.e., not buried) and in-volume naval mines. AMNS devices are intended for use in previously detected mine locations, where they will reacquire and neutralize identified targets. Status Beginning in FY 2003, legacy AMNS (ASQ-232) systems were procured for the MH-53E to provide a near-term contingency airborne neutralization capability. Follow-on AMNS (AN/ASQ-235) system integration work for the MH-60S began in FY 2003 and will continue through a projected FY 2013 IOC for the AMNS on the MH-60S.

Laser-Guided Bomb (LGB), Dual-Mode LGB (DMLGB), Direct-Attack Moving Target Capability (DAMTC) Description The LGB program is a Navy and Air Force joint effort, with the latter acting as the lead and executive service for procurement. LGBs include GBU-10, 12, and 16 that use MK-80/BLU series general-purpose (GP) bomb bodies, and GBU-24 that uses the BLU-109 bomb body incorporating state-of-the-art guidance and control features. GBU-12 is a 500-pound class weapon, GBU-16 is a 1,000-pound class weapon, and GBU-10 is a 2,000-pound class weapon. An LGB has a MK-80/BLU-series warhead fitted with a laser-guidance kit and computer control group (CCG) mounted on the bomb nose. An electronic fuse housed in the aft section of the bomb body initiates the warhead. The seeker, housed in the CCG, senses laser energy and sends signals to the CCG canards to guide the weapon to the spot of reflected energy. Laser energy can be applied to the target by ground or airborne designators, or self-designated by laser-configured aircraft. LGBs will remain in the inventory until at least 2020. The DMLGB is a retrofit to the legacy LGBs in the Navy’s inventory, which converts them to the dual-mode configuration using common components. It provides increased flexibility to the warfighter by combining the proven technology of laser terminal guidance with all-weather fire-and-forget capability of INS/GPS guidance. The retrofit involves replacing the existing CCG system with an INS/GPS to provide legacy LGBs with an all-weather guidance system. By using a retrofit strategy vice developing a new weapon, the services have streamlined the qualification timelines and are putting a new weapon capability in the warfighters’ hands faster. DMLGB reached IOC in September 2007 on both the AV8B Harrier and F/A-18 strike-fighter aircraft, with planned future integration on the F-35 JSF. Dual-mode LGBs offer the flexibility to precisely attack fixed targets in all-weather conditions while offering the ability to attack “pop-up” targets of opportunity. However, LGBs were designed to attack fixed targets, and joint forces fixed-wing aircraft have had few level-of-effort options for attacking moving targets for close air support scenarios and other fires in support of maneuver operations. In September 2006, Commander Central Air Force (CENTAF) released an urgent operational need (UON) to address this capability gap against ground moving targets. The Department of the Navy and the Department of the Air Force released a rapid deployment capability (RDC) and quick reaction capability (QRC), respectively, to provide a low-cost, non-developmental enhancement to GBU-38 to quickly address the moving target capability gap. DAMTC adds a clear-weather capability against moving targets by adding enhancements to existing inventory of precisionguidance munitions (PGMs). The intent of DAMTC is to provide a limited near-term capability gap-filler against moving targets as other weapons are in development. SDB II and JAGM will provide the Joint Forces the ability to engage moving targets at standoff ranges, and are scheduled to become operational after 2015. 38

Military Flight Operations Quality Assurance (MFOQA) Description MFOQA is a knowledge-management process using data collected during flight to conduct post-flight analysis of aircrew and aircraft systems performance. MFOQA requires no additional equipment to be mounted on the aircraft platform, and no additional tasking is added to the aircrew during flight. After each flight event, the aircrew can remove the data collection card, take it to the squadron ready room, and load in the data to squadron computers. Applying MFOQA software already loaded in the computer, the aircrew can replay the flight in animation, noting geographic position, instrument readings, and aircraft-performance parameters. In addition, maintenance personnel can perform diagnostic analysis of the aircraft systems, aircrews can self-evaluate their performance, and squadron leadership can review and counsel on flight procedures and safety and training issues. The ultimate payoff will be increased readiness through improved safety, better training, and faster maintenance troubleshooting. Data from each flight are aggregated for trend analysis at upper tiers of command at the group, wing, and type command levels. Flight operations quality assurance has been used in the commercial aviation industry for years. Surveys from the airline industry have yielded high praise for the process and its benefits to the Maintenance, Operations, Safety and Training (MOST) paradigm. Status MFOQA completed MS B in the first quarter of 2007 and is scheduled for MS C in the first quarter of FY 2012, with IOC to follow shortly thereafter. The plan is to implement MFOQA capability for 26 type/model/series aircraft over an annual phased approach. The lead platforms are the F/A-18C/D/E/F strike fighter and the EA-18G Growler. Follow-on phases will provide MFOQA capability to the MH-60R/S helicopters, the CH-53E heavy-lift helicopter, the MV-22B tilt-rotor aircraft, and the T-45 jet trainer, with additional platforms to follow. Platform priorities are driven by several factors, including mishap rates, system architecture to support data collection, and fleet concerns. Developers To be determined.

Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) Description Future joint and combined operations will hinge on our ability to provide access in the face of unpredictable and asymmetric threats. This has been recognized for some time; however, the events of the last decade have brought a renewed sense of urgency to these requirements. The anti-access threats challenging our naval forces in the littorals include quiet diesel submarines, mines, and small, highly maneuverable surface-attack craft. Such threats have great potential to be effectively employed by many less-capable countries and non-state actors to prevent unhindered access by U.S. forces to littoral areas. The Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) is a key element of Navy’s future force and is optimized to defeat the anti-access threats in the littoral. It uses an open architecture design, modular weapons and sensor systems, and a variety of manned and unmanned vehicles to help gain, sustain, and exploit littoral maritime supremacy, ensuring U.S. joint forces access to critical theaters. Technology has matured to the point where significant warfighting capability can be employed from a small, focused-mission warship like the LCS. Focused-mission LCS mission packages are being developed that will provide capabilities critical to forcible entry, sea/littoral superiority, and homeland defense missions. The ship also possesses inherent capabilities to conduct missions supporting ISR, special operations, intra-theater lift, anti-terrorism/force protection, and maritime interdiction. Fully self-deployable and capable of worldwide sustained underway operations, LCS will have the speed, endurance, and underway replenishment capabilities to transit and operate independently or with carrier strike groups, surface action groups, and expeditionary strike groups. LCS will capitalize on emerging unmanned vehicle, sensor, and weapons technologies to deliver mine countermeasures, surface warfare (SUW), and anti-submarine warfare missions. In May 2004, Navy awarded two contracts options to Lockheed Martin and General Dynamics to build the first LCS ships. The Lockheed Martin design is a steel semi-planing monohull. The General Dynamics design is an aluminum trimaran hull. Status USS Freedom (LCS 1), the first Lockheed Martin ship, was commissioned in November 2008 and conducted a successful early deployment in spring of 2010. USS Independence (LCS 2), the first General Dynamics ship, was commissioned in January 2010. Both ships are undergoing post-delivery tests and trials. Fixed-price type contracts were awarded for LCS 3 (Lockheed Martin) and LCS 4 (General Dynamics) in 2009. LCS 3 and 4 are under construction and scheduled to deliver in 2012. LCS 3 was christened in early December 2010. LCS 4 is scheduled to be christened in August 2011. LCS Dual Award strategy was executed with contract awards to Lockheed-Martin and Austal USA in December 2010. The first MCM mission packages were delivered in 2008 and 2009. ASW and SUW mission packages were delivered in 2008. The second SUW mission package was delivered in late 2010.

Mk 15 Phalanx Close-In Weapon System (CIWS) Description The Mk 15 Mod 21-28 Phalanx CIWS is an autonomous combat system that searches, detects, tracks (radar and electro-optic), and engages threats with a 20mm Gatling gun capable of firing 4,500 tungsten penetrator rounds per minute. Integral to ship self-defense and the anti-air warfare “defense-in-depth” concept, CIWS provides terminal defense against anti-ship missiles and highspeed aircraft that may penetrate other Fleet defenses. Phalanx CIWS can operate autonomously or be integrated with a ship’s combat system. The Block 1B configuration provides further defense against asymmetric threats such as small, fast surface craft, slow-flying aircraft, and unmanned aerial vehicles through the addition of an integrated Forward Looking Infrared (FLIR) sensor. Block 1B also incorporates an optimized gun barrel (OGB) for tighter ordnance dispersion. Enhanced-lethality cartridges (ELC) can be used with the OGB for improved target penetration. The Mk 15 Mod 29 CIWS is the Land-based Phalanx Weapon System (LPWS) configuration developed to counter rocket, artillery, and mortar attacks. LPWS uses the inherent capabilities of CIWS Block 1B mounted on a trailer with portable power generation and cooling systems. The LPWS is deployed as part of the Counter-Rocket, Artillery, and Mortar (C-RAM) program by the U.S. Army at several forward operating bases (FOBs), defending U.S. personnel and assets as part of Operation New Dawn and Operation Enduring Freedom. The Mk 15 Mod 31 is the SeaRAM CIWS system. SeaRAM is also based on the Block 1B Phalanx configuration, with the gun subsystem replaced by an 11-round Rolling Airframe Missile (RAM) launcher. SeaRAM can be integrated with ship’s combat system, but is capable of autonomously searching, detecting, tracking, and engaging threats with RAM. Status More than 250 Mk 15 Phalanx CIWS systems are deployed in the Navy as of early 2011. The Army has procured 45 LPWS systems for FOB defense under the C-RAM program. One SeaRAM CIWS system was delivered for installation on board USS Independence (LCS 2) Littoral Combat Ship. Subsequent SeaRAM CIWS deliveries/installations are dependent on the LCS program acquisition strategy. Developers Raytheon Raytheon

Mk 57 NATO Sea Sparrow Missile System (NSSMS) / RIM-7P NATO Sea Sparrow Missile (NSSM) / RIM-162 Evolved Sea Sparrow Missile (ESSM) Description The Mk 57 NSSMS and its associated RIM-7P NSSM or RIM-162 ESSM serve as the primary surface-to-air ship self-defense missile systems. NSSMS is deployed on aircraft carriers (CVN) and landing helicopter dock (LHD)-class amphibious assault ships, and is being installed on the newest landing helicopter assault (LHA)-class amphibious assault ships. The Mk 57 Target Acquisition System (TAS), engineered to support ships in air defense, is a combined volume-search radar and control element, which determines threat evaluation and weapon assignment for RIM-7 in LHDs and CVNs. A kinematic upgrade to the RIM-7P missile, ESSM is the next generation of Sea Sparrow missiles and is deployed on Arleigh Burke-class Flight IIA Aegis destroyers. ESSM is also the primary self-defense weapon for DDG 1000, CVN, and LHA 6-class ships, as well as Aegis cruisers and destroyers receiving Aegis Modernization. ESSM upgrades include a more powerful rocket motor, tail control section for quick response on VLS ships, upgraded warhead, and a quick-reaction electronic upgrade. Enhanced ESSM kinematics and warhead lethality leverage the robust RIM-7P guidance capability to provide increased operational effectiveness against high-speed, maneuvering, hardened anti-ship cruise missiles at greater intercept ranges than now possible with RIM-7P. Operational in FY 2004, ESSM is procured as part of the NATO Sea Sparrow Consortium involving ten NATO countries. Status ESSM was introduced in Ticonderoga-class cruisers in FY 2009 to improve capability against close-in, highly maneuverable threats. Remaining Arleigh Burke-class Flight I/II Aegis destroyers will be upgraded to ESSM in conjunction with Aegis Modernization Program. Future upgrades to ESSM are being explored. Developers Raytheon

RIM-66C SM-2 Standard Missile-2 Blocks III/IIIA/IIIB Description The SM-2 is Navy’s primary area air-defense surface-to-air missile. SM-2 Block III/IIIA/IIIB configurations are all-weather, shiplaunched, medium-range SAMs in service with the U.S. Navy and nine allied navies. SM-2 enables forward naval presence, littoral operations, and projecting and sustaining U.S. forces in anti-access or area-denial environments. SM-2 Block III/IIIA/IIIB missiles are launched from the Mk 41 VLS installed in Aegis cruisers and destroyers. Block III features improved performance against low-altitude threats and optimizes trajectory-shaping within the Aegis command guidance system by implementing shaping and fuse altimeter improvements. Block IIIA features improved performance and lethality against sea-skimming threats resulting from a new directional warhead and addition of a moving-target indicator fuse design. Block IIIB adds an infrared-guidance mode capability developed in the Missile Homing Improvement Program (MHIP) to improve performance in a stressing ECM environment. Blocks IIIA/IIIB will be the heart of the SM-2 inventory for the next 20 years. The latest generation of Block IIIB missiles includes a maneuverability upgrade (SM-2 Block IIIBw/MU2) to enhance IIIB performance against low-altitude, supersonic maneuvering threats. Status Block IIIB MU2 is the only variant in production for the U.S. Navy, although Block IIIA is still produced for foreign military sales.

Stabilized 25-mm Machine Gun System (MGS) Description The Mod 2 program upgrades the Mk 38 Mod 1 25mm chain gun by adding stabilization, remote operation, fire control, and an electro-optical sensor. These additions significantly expand the effective range, lethality, and nighttime capability of the weapon. The MGS program reduces risk for surface ship self-defense by engaging asymmetric surface and airborne threats to ships at close range. It provides the capability to bridge current and future targeting and weapons technology in a close range force protection environment, including protection in port, at anchor, transiting choke points, or while operating in restricted waters. Status The Mk 38 Mod 2 was initiated in 2003 to improve ship self defense by developing and fielding a mid-term capability for surface ships that was simple, stabilized, and affordable. The program in late 2010 had fielded 51% of the planned total of gun upgrades. The Mk 38 Mod 2 MGS is being permanently installed on a broad spectrum of U.S. Navy and Coast Guard ships and cutters (e.g., CG 47, DDG 51, FFG 7, PC 1, LHA 1, LHD 1, LPD 17, LSD 41/49, and LCC 19-class ships).

SURFACE Sensors and Combat Systems Aegis Ashore Description On September 17, 2009, the President announced an overarching plan to provide regional ballistic missile defense to U.S. deployed forces and allies, called the European Phased Adaptive Approach (PAA). The PAA envisions tailoring U.S. BMD capabilities to specific theater needs to enhance integrated regional missile defenses to protect against medium-, intermediate-, and ultimately intercontinental-range ballistic missiles. Aegis Ashore is a bold and innovative adaptation of Navy’s proven and flexible Aegis ballistic missile defense capability. Repackaging components of the Aegis Weapons System (AWS) into modular containers and deploying them to pre-prepared sites in host nations to constitute a BMD capability is an elegantly simple concept but not without its unique challenges. As the Aegis Ashore material developer, the DoD Missile Defense Agency funds development, procurement, and installation of BMD systems, peripherals, and SM-3 missiles. The Missile Defense Agency Director is designated the Acquisition Executive for the U.S. Ballistic Missile Defense System. In this capacity, the Agency exercises all source-selection and milestone decision authorities for all elements of the BMDS up to, but not including, production issues. 59

Section 2: SURFACE combatants

Status At this early stage in 2011, engineering level details on Aegis Ashore have not been fully developed. For example, the first Aegis Ashore site, known as the Aegis Ashore Missile Defense Test Complex (AAMDTC) at Pacific Missile Range Facility (PMRF), Kauai, Hawaii, is under development. The first forward operating site in Eastern Europe is scheduled to be operational in 2015. Detailed radar deckhouse design is ongoing. The Naval Sea Systems Command and Missile Defense Agency had already established the Aegis BMD Directorate as a Hybrid Program Office, which, in addition to managing ship-based Aegis BDM programs, will closely coordinate efforts with the Navy’s Program Executive Office for Integrated Warfare Systems (PEO IWS) to oversee Aegis Ashore development and deployment.

Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense (ABMD) Description Aegis BMD includes modifications to the Aegis Weapons System and development and upgrade of the Standard Missile 3 (SM3) with its hit-to-kill kinetic warhead. The SM-2 Block IV surface-to-air missile has also been modified for the terminal BMD mission. Aegis BMD also provides long-range surveillance and tracking (LRS&T) capability against long-range ballistic missile threats. ABMD ships thus have the capability to provide cueing in defense of the homeland and BMD engagement to defend against short- and intermediate-range ballistic missiles. This combination gives select Aegis cruisers and destroyers the capability to intercept short- and intermediate-range ballistic missiles in the ascent, midcourse, and descent phases of their exo-atmospheric trajectories. This capability also provides an endo-atmospheric “lower-tier” capability, including terminal self-defense of forces at sea, resulting in a more lethal, layered defense against enemy ballistic missiles. At the same time, Aegis BMD warships remain able to carry out all general-purpose naval missions, such as long-range precision strike with Tomahawk Land-Attack Missiles (TLAMs). Together, these capabilities contribute to robust defense-in-depth for U.S. and allied forces at sea and on land, vital political and military assets, population centers, and large geographic regions against the threat of ballistic missile attack. In early 2011, Aegis BMD is the only integrated upper- and lower-tier capability in the national Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS). Status The Missile Defense Agency and Navy deployed the Aegis BMD LSR&T capability as an element of the national BMDS in October 2004. The Aegis BMD short- and intermediate-range ballistic 60

Navy Progra m Guide 2011

missile engagement capability was certified for operational use in August 2006. Through the end of 2010, 21 cruisers and destroyers had been modified to conduct BMD missions, with additional ships to be modified in the future. To facilitate terminal defense, the Aegis BMD 3.6.1 program capability has been installed in 20 BMD-capable Aegis warships. The ongoing Aegis Modernization (CG/DDG MOD) program will eventually provide BMD capability to all Aegis destroyers and selected Aegis cruisers beginning in 2012. Developers Lockheed Martin Raytheon

Aegis Combat System (ACS) Description The Aegis Combat System is a centralized, automated, commandand-control (C2) and weapons control system. ACS integrates combat capabilities developed in other Navy programs into the Ticonderoga (CG 47) and Arleigh Burke (DDG 51)-class ships, providing effective capability to counter current and future air, surface, and sub-surface threats. ACS is not a separate ACAT program; it is part of the Aegis Shipbuilding (ACAT 1) Program. Status ACS has been in the Fleet since the 1980s and continues to serve as the platform for new capabilities, weapons and sensor systems. Aegis Modernization (AMOD) program is producing system upgrades via the advanced capability build (ACB) process for CG and DDG modernization, and DDG Restart to keep pace with evolving threats and the challenging littoral environment. The first iteration of this process, ACB-08 / Technical Insertion (TI) 08, brings CGs 52-58 increased warfighting capabilities during the CG Modernizations which began in 2008. ACB-08 separates hardware from software, allowing for COTS computer processors, and re-uses elements of the Aegis Baseline 7.1R computer program code, while integrating improved system capabilities. ACB-12 will bring increased warfighting capabilities, including the SM-6 missile and Multi-Mission Signal Processor, during CG/ DDG MOD availabilities beginning in 2012. ACB-12 initiates a common computer program library for Aegis and brings in the first third-party developed software element––Track Manager/ Track Server––as well as the competitively awarded Common Display System (CDS) and Common Processor System (CPS). Future ACBs will continue to bring new capabilities to existing ships in a single package vice the legacy method of installing capability improvements through multiple, individualized deliveries.

Air and Missile Defense Radar (AMDR) Description The AMDR advanced radar system is being developed to fill capability gaps identified by the Maritime Air and Missile Defense of Joint Forces (MAMDJF) Initial Capabilities Document. AMDR is a multi-function, active-phased array radar capable of search, detection, and tracking of airborne and ballistic missile targets, and missile engagement support. AMDR consists of an S-band radar (AMDR-S), an X-band radar (AMDR-X), and a Radar Suite Controller (RSC). The radar will be developed to support multiple ship classes with the first increment of development in support of DDG-51 FLT III. AMDR critical technology elements that will enable multi-mission performance in stressing theater air and missile defense environments include high-power amplifiers and transmit/receive modules and power supplies, active array physical architecture scalability, large-aperture digital beam-forming and calibration, distributed receivers/exciters, multi-beam signal processing, and multi-mission scheduling and discrimination. The multi-mission capability will be effective in both air dominance of the battle space (area air defense) and in ballistic missile defense. Status AMDR is a Pre-ACAT-1D program with Milestone A approval. The Technology Development (TD) phase commenced in early FY 2011. Developers To be determined. Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman and Raytheon were awarded TD contracts to produce small-scale active phased array (S-band) prototypes during TD, scheduled to complete in fall 2012.

Cooperative Engagement Capability (CEC) Description CEC provides improved battle force air defense capabilities by integrating sensor data of each cooperating ship and aircraft into a single, real-time, fire-control-quality, composite track picture. CEC is a critical pillar of Naval Integrated Fire Control-Counter Air (NIFC-CA) capability and will provide a significant contribution to the Joint Integrated Fire Control (JIFC) operational architecture. CEC interfaces the weapons capabilities of each CEC-equipped ship and aircraft in the strike group to support integrated engagement capability. By simultaneously distributing sensor data on airborne threats to each ship within a strike group, CEC extends the range at which a ship can engage hostile tracks to beyond the radar horizon, significantly improving area, local, and self-defense capabilities. CEC enables a strike group or joint task force to act as a single, geographically distributed combat system. CEC provides the fleet with greater defense in-depth and the mutual support required to confront evolving threats of anti-ship cruise missiles and theater ballistic missiles. 62

Navy Progra m Guide 2011

Status IOC for the shipboard CEC system (USG-2) was declared in FY 1996. USG-2 Technical Evaluation (TECHEVAL) and OPEVAL were successfully completed between 1998-2001, following extensive development and testing of shipboard combat systems with which CEC interfaces. At that point, Commander Operational Test and Evaluation Force declared shipboard CEC ready for fleet use. In April 2002, the Defense Acquisition Board (DAB) approved full rate production for USG-2 shipboard and low-rate initial production for E-2C Hawkeye (USG-3) airborne equipment sets. In September 2003, USD (AT&L) approved FY 2004/05 follow on production for the USG-3. In early 2011, CEC systems are at sea in 57 ships (Aegis CGs and DDGs, carriers, and amphibious ships) and 26 E-2C Hawkeye 2000 aircraft. The total future CEC installation is planned in approximately 275 ships, aircraft and land units. The current acquisition strategy, dated 19 January 2010, implements a pre-planned product improvement (P3I) program incorporating open architecture-based hardware with re-hosted existing software. The P3I hardware supports reduced cost, weight, cooling, and power objectives and is more extensible to the other Services. This initiative culminated in the competitive design and production of the CEC Signal Data Processor (SDP), which is installed on several land-based test sites, DDGs and the E-2D Hawkeye and is proceeding through testing. The Navy has coordinated with the Joint Staff, OSD, and other Services to explore potential multi-Service avenues for CEC capability implementation that will expand sensor netting track data availability to meet a variety of warfighting requirements across various platforms. This effort has resulted in the implementation of CEC into ground mobile systems including the Marine Corps’ Composite Tracking Network (CTN), Army’s Joint Land Attack Cruise Missile Defense Elevated Netted Sensor (JLENS), and work to create a bridge to the Army Integrated Fire Control (IFC) program.

Shipboard Collective Protection System (CPS) Description CPS provides a protective environment from CBR threats in ship spaces where personnel can perform their mission-essential operations without the use of individual protective equipment. The system over-pressurizes specified ship spaces with air filtered through an array of housings that contain multiple CBR filter sets preventing the ingress of CBR contaminants. Zone ingress and egress is enabled through a variety of supporting systems including air locks, pressure locks, and decontamination stations located on the zone boundaries that maintain the integrity of clean spaces. Integrated into the heating ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, shipboard CPS provides continuous protection to personnel and equipment within the zone boundary. On those ships where it is not feasible to provide protection to the entire ship, mission-essential spaces such as medical, command and control, and rest and relief areas are outfitted with CPS. Status Shipboard CPS is installed on more than 85 ships in early 2011. CPS coverage varies by ship class and ranges from the entire ship interior (DDG 51 FLT I, DDG 51 FLT II, and T-AOE-6 class) to zone-specific coverage systems (DDG 51 FLT IIA, LSD, LPD 17, LHD, LHA). These systems are a combination of new-construction and back-fit installations, depending on the ship. Plans call for some 100 ships to have CPS by FY 2014.

submarine force

The submarine force, the Navy’s “silent service,” contributes significantly to many of the Navy’s core capabilities. The concealment provided by the sea enables U.S. submarines to conduct undetected and non-provocative operations, to be survivable, and to attack both land and sea targets. Nuclearpowered attack submarines (SSNs) enable sea control, providing unseen surveillance of far-flung regions of ocean along with the ability to attack and sink hostile surface ships and submarines. The power-projection capabilities of nuclear-powered guided-missile submarines (SSGNs) include precision strike from land-attack cruise missiles and insertion of Special Operations Forces (SOF) to conduct reconnaissance and direct-action missions in hostile environments. The Navy’s fleet of nuclearpowered ballistic missile submarines (SSBNs) provides the ability to conduct nuclear offensive strike, contributing to the core capability of deterrence at the national strategic level.

Ohio Replacement (OR) Fleet Ballistic-Missile Submarine Description The backbone of the Nation’s survivable nuclear deterrent will continue to be provided by the fleet ballistic-missile submarine (SSBN). Starting in 2027, the 14 Ohio-class SSBNs will reach the ends of their useful lives at a rate of about one per year. The Navy intends to replace the Ohio-class submarines with a followon SSBN, which will have strategic nuclear deterrence as its primary mission. The initial payload will be the Trident II/D5 Life Extension (D5LE) submarine launched ballistic missile (SLBM). The associated missile systems will be developed jointly with the United Kingdom, continuing the long-standing SSBN partnership between the U.S. Navy and the Royal Navy. The Ohio Replacement must IOC no later than 2029 to ensure the Navy maintains national operational requirements. Concurrently, the United Kingdom will be recapitalizing its sea-based strategic deterrent platforms, Vanguard-class SSBN, which also hosts the Trident II/D5 SLBM. Under cost-sharing agreements, the United States and United Kingdom are developing common missile compartment components to reduce design and construction costs. Lessons learned from the successful Virginia-class submarine program demonstrate that early and robust investment in design leads to more developed and mature designs and technical specifications prior to construction start. Increased design maturity prior to construction results in lower costs and increased adherence to the scheduled build duration. Status The Initial Capabilities Document was approved by the Joint Requirements Oversight Council (JROC) in June 2008. An Analysis of Alternatives for the Ohio Replacement was completed and approved in 2009. Milestone A was completed in December 2010 to approve entry into the technology development phase. Early RDT&E efforts include prototyping and construction technique demonstration for the first SLBM tubes to be built since delivery of USS Louisiana (SSBN 743) in 1997.

SSN 774 Virginia-Class Nuclear-Powered Attack Submarine Description The Virginia-class submarine is specifically designed for multi-mission operations in the littorals and shallow water while retaining the submarine force’s strength in traditional open-ocean anti-submarine and anti-surface missions. These submarines have advanced acoustic technology and are configured to conduct mine reconnaissance, Special Operations Forces (SOF) insertion/extraction, carrier/expeditionary strike group support, intelligence-collection and 81

Section 3: SUbmarine force

surveillance missions, sea-control, and land attack. The Virginia class can serve as host for various SOF delivery methods, including mini-submersibles and raiding craft via an embarked dry-deck shelter to directly to sea via integral lock-out chambers. The subs are built using a modular construction process that allows construction, assembly, and testing of systems prior to installation in the subs’ hulls, thereby reducing costs, minimizing rework, and simplifying system integration. The subs’ modular design and extensive use of open architecture electronics systems facilitates technology insertion in future ships during new construction and backfit into ships in the fleet, enabling the each Virginia-class submarine to keep pace with emerging threat capabilities throughout its 30-year service life. Status The subs are being built under an innovative teaming arrangement between General Dynamics Electric Boat (EB) and Northrop Grumman Newport News (NGNN). Using a modular construction process, each shipyard builds portions of each ship, with integration and delivery of completed submarines alternating between EB and NGNN. Construction of the USS Virginia (SSN 774) began in FY 1998, and the ship was commissioned in October 2004, with final construction occurring at Electric Boat. USS Texas (SSN 775) began construction in FY 1999 and was commissioned in September 2006, with final construction at Newport News. Follow-on ships continue to alternate between the two shipyards, with both cost and length of construction coming down with each ship. In 2008 Navy negotiated the next multi-year procurement contract for a total of ten subs between 2009-2013 (including procurement of two submarines per year beginning in FY 2011). Seven VIRGINIA-class submarines have been delivered as of the end of CY 2010. Developers General Dynamics Electric Boat Corporation Northrop Grumman

Submarine Rescue (SRC, SRDRS) Description The Navy’s legacy Deep Submergence Rescue Vehicles (DSRVs) have been replaced by the new Submarine Rescue Diving and Recompression System (SRDRS), which provides the Nation’s capabilities for submarine rescue, and the existing Submarine Rescue Chamber (SRC). These systems can be quickly deployed in the event of a submarine accident. They are transportable by truck, aircraft, and ship. The SRDRS consists of three distinct systems: (1) Assessment Underwater Work System (AUWS); (2) Pressurized Rescue Module System (PRMS); and (3) Surface Decompression System (SDS). AUWS provides the Atmospheric Diving System (ADS2000), a one-atmosphere, no-decompression manned diving system capable of depths to 2,000 feet for the primary purpose of clearing and preparing a submarine hatch for seating a rescue platform. The PRMS provides a manned, tethered, remotely pi82

Navy Progra m Guide 2011

loted vehicle capable of rescuing personnel from a stricken submarine to depths of 2,000 feet. The SDS overcomes a significant deficiency of older systems by enabling personnel transfer under pressure for surface decompression following rescue from a pressurized submarine environment. The SRDRS is a governmentowned, contractor-operated system, capable of rapid, worldwide deployment and mobilization on vessels of opportunity. Status ADS2000 completed operational test and evaluation and was introduced to the Fleet in September 2007. Four ADS2000 suits are maintained at the Navy’s Deep Submergence Unit. PRMS was delivered in late 2008, at which time the DSRV program was retired. Development of the SDS transfer-under-pressure capability is ongoing and planned to be introduced in FY 2011. SRC is programmed for continued service to the Fleet.

Submarine Weapons MK-48 Advanced Capability (ADCAP) Common Broadband Advanced Sonar System (CBASS) Torpedo Description The MK 48 ADCAP heavyweight torpedo is the Navy’s sole submarine-launched weapon for anti-submarine and anti-surface warfare. The ADCAP torpedo was authorized for full-rate production in 1990 and the final production all-up-round torpedo was delivered to the U.S. Navy in 1996. Since then, the Navy has employed an open-architecture model to provide software and hardware improvements to the existing ADCAP torpedo inventory. The first ADCAP torpedo (Mod 5) featured sophisticated sonar, all-digital guidance and control systems, digital fusing systems, and propulsion improvements to the legacy MK 48 torpedo. The next incremental upgrade to the ADCAP (Mod 6) improved the guidance and control system and improved torpedo acoustic stealth. The latest increment––Mod 7 Common Broadband Advanced Sonar System (CBASS)––includes a new broadband sonar system and shallow water performance improvements. Phase I (of II) of the CBASS program, with the new Broadband Sonar Analog Receiver (BSAR), achieved Initial Operating Capability and was introduced to the Fleet in 2006. The CBASS upgrade to the ADCAP torpedo is part of an ongoing Armaments Cooperative Program with the Royal Australian Navy (RAN). In addition to the RAN, the Canadian and The Netherlands navies also employ 83

Section 3: SUbmarine force

versions of the MK 48 torpedo through the Navy’s Foreign Military Sales program. Status The Navy continues to procure CBASS hardware for eventual conversion of all ADCAP torpedoes through the life of the program. In parallel, the spiral development program continues to improve torpedo performance through software upgrades in challenging areas, such as the shallow-water diesel and air-independent submarine threats. Phase II of the CBASS program, with APB Spiral 4 software improvements, is expected to achieve FOC in 2011. The MK 48 ADCAP is and will remain the Navy’s primary submarinelaunched torpedo through 2026. Developers Raytheon Systems Corporation

UGM-133A Trident II/D5 Submarine-Launched Ballistic Missile (SLBM) Description The Trident II/D5 is the sixth generation of the Navy’s Fleet Ballistic Missile (FBM) Program, which started in 1955. The D5 is a three-stage, solid propellant, inertial-guided SLBM, with a range greater than 4,000 NMs and accuracy measured in hundreds of feet. The first eight Ohio-class submarines were configured to carry 24 Trident I/C4 missiles SLBMs. The ninth ship, the USS Tennessee (SSBN 734), and all later ships were armed with the Trident II/D5 missile system. In operation, Trident II/D5 missiles have been declared at eight MIRV warheads under the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START). The Navy continues to address future deterrence requirements against weapons of mass destruction and disruption, and the Trident II/D5 will ensure that the United States has a modern, survivable strategic deterrent. The Navy has embarked on a D5 Life Extension Program (D5LE) which will upgrade missile systems and maintain the D5 in the Fleet into the 2040s, bridging the transition from Ohio-class SSBNs to Ohio Replacement SSBNs. Status Full missile procurement began in FY 2008 ending in FY 2012, with a total acquisition of 108 additional missiles. Additionally, life extension kits and replacement solid rocket motors are procured throughout and past the FYDP to refurbish obsolete electronics and expiring rocket motors on existing missiles.

Submarine Sensors BQQ-10 Acoustic Rapid COTS Insertion (ARCI) Description ARCI replaces existing legacy submarine sonar systems on all classes of submarines with a more capable and flexible COTSbased open systems architecture and provides the submarine force with a common sonar system. It allows development and use of complex algorithms that were previously well beyond the capability of legacy processors. The use of COTS/OSA technologies and systems will enable frequent periodic updates to both software and hardware with little or no impact on submarine scheduling. COTS-based processors allow computer power growth at a rate commensurate with that of commercial industry. Additionally, the open architecture design of the ARCI system allows for the rapid insertion of new sensor systems and processing techniques at minimal cost. New sensor systems in development, such as the low-cost conformal array and follow-on towed arrays, will be incorporated in the ARCI system through biennial advanced processor build software improvements and hardware technical insertions of improved processing power. Status BQQ-10 ARCI upgrades from legacy sonar systems remain outstanding for 12 submarines at the end of 2010. Submarines already upgraded receive periodic improvements through technical insertions of hardware and advanced processor builds of software. While TI upgrades are designed for insertion biannually, individual submarines normally receive a TI every other cycle. This nominal four-year refresh of hardware keeps each submarine’s processing power inline with the state of the computing industry while ensuring that the COTS components are upgraded before commercial obsolescence. Biannual APBs allows for rapid insertion of improved acoustic processing algorithms and increased capabilities requested by the type commanders to address emerging challenges. Navy RDT&E will continue to develop processing algorithms from the surveillance, tactical and advanced R&D communities as well as perform laboratory and at-sea testing.

Submarine Equipment and Systems BYG-1 Submarine Combat Control System Description BYG-1 is the common submarine combat control system across all submarine platforms except Ohio-class fleet ballistic-missile submarines. BYG-1 is a COTS-based open systems architecture (OSA) that incorporates organic sensor fusion, target solution development, combined tactical picture, weapon control, and Tactical Local Area Network (TacLAN) functions into a single procurement program. The use of COTS/OSA technologies and systems enables frequent periodic updates to both software and hardware with little or no impact on submarine scheduling. COTS-based processors allow computer power growth at a rate commensurate with that of commercial industry. Additionally, the open architecture design of the BYG-1 system allows for the rapid integration of new sensors and processing techniques at minimal cost. BYG-1 allows the submarine force to update rapidly the ship safety tactical picture, integrates the common tactical picture into the battle group, improves torpedo interfaces, and provides Tactical Tomahawk (TLAM) capability. Status BYG-1 is scheduled to be installed on all attack (SSN) and guidedmissile (SSGN) submarines by FY 2013. Submarines already upgraded receive periodic improvements through technical insertions of hardware and advanced processor builds of software. While TI upgrades are designed for insertion biannually, individual submarines normally receive a TI every-other cycle. This nominal four-year refresh of hardware keeps each submarine’s processing power inline with the state of the computing industry while ensuring that the COTS components are upgraded before commercial obsolescence.

EXPEDITIONARY FORCES Explosive Ordnance Disposal / Mobile Diving and Salvage (EOD / MDSU) Description The Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) community is operationally organized into two deploying EOD Groups, each headed by a Navy captain. Each group has several EOD Mobile Units, a Mobile Diving and Salvage Unit, a Training Unit, and an Expeditionary Support Unit assigned. EOD units are tasked with providing the Fleet, other Services, and the Interagency with the capability to detect, identify, render safe, recover, evaluate, and dispose of explosive ordnance that has been fired, dropped, launched, projected or placed in such a manner as to constitute a hazard to operations, installations, personnel or material. Commonly operating in platoons and smaller elements, these EOD units assure access to battlespace by opening lines of communication in the sea-to-shore interface and beyond. Their missions eliminate hazards that jeopardize operations supporting national military strategy. This may require diving operations, parachute insertion, or helicopter insertion. These mobility skills, along with responsibility for all underwater ordnance, make Navy EOD unique in the joint force. The Secretary of the Navy is the Single Manager for all EOD Technology and Training, carrying out these duties primarily through the Navy EOD Technology Center and Naval School Explosive Ordnance Disposal, where all Military EOD Technicians receive the same initial training to defeat conventional land and air ordnance as well as improvised explosive devices (IED). Mobile Diving and Salvage Units (MDSU) conduct expeditionary salvage, search and recovery operations both afloat and ashore. They also perform harbor clearance, salvage and de-beaching, underwater cutting and welding, limited underwater ship repair, ship husbandry and force protection dive support for both ships in port, and port facilities. Status Both EOD and MDSU are recapitalizing their authorized equipment inventories with new tables of allowance (TOA) approved in 2008. Based on a complete review of their mission requirements, each TOA is being realigned with their force structures and standardized, where possible, across the Navy Expeditionary Combat Enterprise. Specialty equipment––for example, Man-Transportable Robotic Systems, unmanned underwater vehicles, and MK 16 Underwater Breathing Apparatus––are included for EOD units. Developers Multiple sources.

MCAST delivers critical maritime civil affairs (MCA) and security force assistance (SFA) capabilities by providing increased U.S. presence in the near-coast environment to enhance engagement and deter the root causes of instability. Its mission is to assess, plan, and evaluate civil/military affairs activities in the maritime environment. Its areas of expertise include such traditional civil affairs functions as public education and public health, but it is regionally aligned and focused on three maritime-specific functions: commercial port operations; harbor and channel construction and maintenance; and marine and fisheries resources. It also assists with planning and coordination for U.S. country teams, non-combatant evacuation operations, refugee operations, host-nation interagency support, and restoration of communications and local infrastructures following military operations or natural disasters. Maritime Civil Affairs Teams (MCATs) work directly with civil authorities and local populations to lessen the impact of military operations imposed during peacetime, contingency operations, and war. Mobile Training Teams (MTTs) deliver timely, focused and customized military-to-military training to partner nations, in the host nation’s language. Both MCATs and MTTs are specially trained with cultural and language skills for specific regions. Status The MCAST TOA contains the equipment necessary for MCATs and MTTs to deploy in support of field operations. MCAST is located in Little Creek, Virginia but will be moving to Dam Neck, Virginia in FY 2011. Developers Multiples sources.

Landing Craft, Air Cushion (LCAC) Description This high-speed, fully amphibious landing craft is capable of carrying a 60-ton payload (75 tons in overload) at speeds in excess of 40 knots and a nominal range of 200 NMs. Its ability to ride on a cushion of air allows it to operate directly from the well decks of amphibious warships. Carrying equipment, troops, and supplies, the LCAC launches from the well deck, transits at high speed, traverses the surf zone, and lands at a suitable place ashore where it quickly offloads and returns to amphibious shipping for follow-on sorties. LCACs provide amphibious task force commanders flexibility in selecting landing sites, permitting access to more than 70 percent of the world’s shores as compared to 17 percent for conventional landing craft. LCACs deliver vehicles and cargo directly onto dry land rather than in the surf zone and have proved invaluable in support of humanitarian assistance/disaster relief (HA/ DR) missions, for example, the Indonesia tsunami relief, Hurricane Katrina, and Operation Unified Response in Haiti. LCACs are multi-mission craft that can also conduct alternate missions when outfitted with appropriate mission packages. A service life extension program to extend hull life from 20 to 30 years for 72 LCACs will be accomplished through FY 2018. Additionally, some of the craft have been outfitted with C4I (radar and radios) system upgrades prior to entry into SLEP. As part of SLEP, the Navy will incorporate the following enhancements: • A  n open-architecture concept, relying on modern COTS equipment that will allow much easier incorporation of later technology changes, such as the precision navigation system and communications systems, fully interoperable with in-service and near-term future joint systems now planned • Engine upgrades (ETF-40B configuration) that will provide additional power and lift, particularly in hot (100° Fahrenheit and higher) environments, and reduce fuel consumption, maintenance needs, and lift footprint • Refurbishment of the buoyancy box and some of the rotating machinery in order to solve corrosion problems, incorporate hull improvements, and “reset” the fatiguelimit “clock” 97

Navy Energy Program Description The Navy Energy Vision is one that values energy as a strategic resource. The Navy understands how energy security is fundamental to executing our mission afloat and ashore, and how the service must be resilient to any potential energy future. Realizing the Energy Vision will require a comprehensive Navy Department-wide strategy comprising strategic imperatives and goals that align with the Department of Defense and Federal government approach to energy and climate issues. The Navy Energy Strategy guides a strong portfolio of investments in people, technology, and programs across Navy enterprises. In the near term, the Navy will make significant gains by adjusting policies to enable more energy-efficient operations, encouraging awareness and energy-conscious behavior in every Navy setting, optimizing existing technologies to reduce energy consumption, and speeding the implementation of new technologies, all with the intent of enhancing or enabling greater combat readiness. The resulting program is built on strategic imperatives to assure mobility and protect critical infrastructure, lighten the load and expand tactical reach, and “green” our footprint––imperatives aligned with the Secretary of the Navy’s five energy targets. Our goal is not only to increase the use of alternatives both tactically and ashore, but also to invest in efficiency-enhancement and consumption-reduction initiatives that reduce the overall requirement for petroleum. Our energy program will pursue initiatives that advance combat capability and reduce reliance on fossil-based energy. Additionally, this strategy will serve to accomplish the goals set in the legislation and executive orders for our shore infrastructure and advance Navy leadership in energy security. To that end, the Tactical Navy Energy Program lays out a balanced investment strategy that capitalizes on near-term quick-win gains, mid-term development of efficiency initiatives that can be incorporated into legacy equipment and systems, and long-term science and technology investment to explore game-changing technology. This balance is achieved with investment at the “knee in the curve,” where the best return in terms of fuel saved is delivered. For shore and infrastructure investment, this balance is achieved through a watch, partner, and lead strategy. This approach allows the Navy to watch maturing technology and invest when/where viable (e.g., solar and wind), partner to develop needed technology with other government organizations or industry (e.g., SmartGrid), and lead the development of mission-critical technologies (e.g., ocean energy for island bases). Doing so allows the Navy to invest to achieve our goals on a path that meets legislative requirements and sets the stage to achieve our larger, long-term objectives. Status The PB 2011 program was significantly enhanced for POM 12 to include additional investment to address shore energy legislative requirements and further invest in tactical energy initiatives that target energy efficiency, reduce energy consumption, and complete alternative fuel test and certification to lay the foundation for increased alternative fuel use.

It develops, fields, and supports joint and coalition tactical data link (TDL) capabilities in accordance with the Joint Tactical Data Enterprise Services Migration Plan (JTMP), the DoD roadmap for TDL implementation. The JTMP is a plan to migrate from numerous “stovepipe” non-interoperable tactical data links to a net-centric, open-architecture, internet protocol (IP)-based, low latency, Joint family of TDL message standards providing access to Tactical Data Enterprise Services and the Global Information Grid (GIG). Joint TDLs (Link-11, Link-16 and Link-22) include terminals, gateways, networks, and support initiatives that improve connectivity, promote equipment interoperability, and provide training and support. Link-11 is used by Navy, Air Force, Army, Marine Corps, and allied ships and aircraft, many of which are also equipped with Link-16. Link-11 is scheduled to be phased out no later than 2015 and replaced with the more capable Link-16. Link-16 is DoD’s primary TDL; the Navy is implementing Link16 in most of its TDL-capable platforms and weapons. Link-22 is a multi-national development effort that will use the same message standard as Link-16, but a less complex waveform, making it more suitable for high frequency transmission and not restricted to line-of-sight communications (LOS), a limitation for Link-16. ATDLS-supported efforts include: Terminals: Joint Tactical Information Distribution System (JTIDS), Multifunctional Information Distribution System - Low Volume Terminal (MIDS-LVT), MIDS Joint Tactical Radio System (MIDS JTRS) and the Common Shipboard Data Terminal Set (CSDTS). Gateways: Command and Control Processor (C2P), Common Data Link Management System (CDLMS), and Next-Generation C2P.

ADNS is also installed in Navy Network Operations Centers (NOCs), enabling the NOC to transmit and receive voice and data to and from ships underway or pierside. ADNS provides Unclassified, Secret, Top Secret, and various joint, allied, and coalition services to interconnect to the Defense Information Systems Network (DISN). ADNS Increment I combines internet protocol (IP) traffic from different enclaves and transmits across available communications paths. ADNS Increment II added the capability to manage traffic from multiple enclaves simultaneously over multiple transit paths including RF and terrestrial links, but still did not satisfy the Fleet’s need for a higher throughput. Increased throughput and converged IP (voice, video, and data) capabilities were delivered to the Fleet with the deployment of Increment IIa/ IIb. ADNS Increment III brings a protected core, reducing the exposure to cyber warfare network infiltration. It will support 25 megabits per second (Mbps) aggregate throughput for submarines and unit-level ships and 50 Mbps aggregate throughput for force-level ships. ADNS is the key enabler for delivering net centric capabilities that depend upon a robust, dynamic, adaptable, survivable, secure communications. ADNS Increment III may be considered a key enabler of counter anti access and area denial (A2AD) capability. Status In FY 2005, all active ships and ashore Network Operations Centers (NOC) facilities were equipped with either ADNS Increment I or II; additionally, all active submarines and broadcast control authority (BCA) facilities were equipped with Increment I. In FY 2006, ADNS Increment IIa installations began on aircraft carriers, large-deck amphibious assault ships, and fleet commander flagships (force-level ships). Subsequently, in FY 2007, ADNS Increment IIb installations began on unit-level ships. In FY 2008, select airborne platforms were incorporated into ADNS, bringing network connectivity to additional fleet assets. Increment III low-rate initial production began in FY 2009. ADNS Increment III reached IOC in FY 2010. Ashore NOC and BCA installs were completed in FY 2010. Increment III will be installed on all ships and submarines. ADNS Increment III is estimated to reach FOC in FY 2021. Developers General Dynamics PEO C4I SPAWAR Systems Center Pacific SAIC

Automatic Identification System (AIS) Description The Automatic Identification System (AIS) is a maritime digital broadcast system that continually exchanges voyage and vessel data among network participants over VHF radio frequency. The data include: vessel identity, position, speed, course, destination, and other information of critical interest for navigation safety and maritime security. International commercial vessels greater than a specified gross tonnage (GT), in 2011 300GT, are mandated by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and the 1974 International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) Treaty to use AIS. Warships are exempt. The Navy AIS program collects open-source AIS data that are broadcast from AIS transceivers on commercial shipping vessels. This open-source AIS data (e.g., vessel location, course and speed), combined with other government intelligence and surveillance data, are used on board Navy ships and submarines to improve safety of navigation and is integrated into the common operational picture to enhance situational awareness. The AIS data collected by Navy platforms is also aggregated within the Maritime Domain Awareness (MDA)/AIS, Sensor/Server (MASS), located at several shore sites. The MASS then provides the data to unclassified and classified users in support of MDA efforts, with particular focus on improving the Nation’s maritime security. Status Initiated as a rapid-deployment capability (RDC), AIS transitioned to a program of record on December 24, 2008 and was designated as an ACAT IVT program. PEO C4I is the milestone decision authority. Increment I AIS systems have been installed on 150 unit-level ships (e.g., cruisers and destroyers) and provide basic AIS capability, including a laptop computer display on the bridge and connectivity to send unclassified AIS data to shore sites. An additional 12 unit-level ships will be backfitted with AIS. The first Increment I AIS systems were installed on two Los Angeles (SSN 688)-class submarines in FY 2010. There is a plan to complete AIS installations on 69 additional submarines. AIS Increment I systems have also been installed on 23 force-level ships (aircraft carriers and amphibious assault ships) that, in addition to the basic capability, allow for the direct transfer of AIS track information to the Global Command and Control System (GCCS). AIS shore sites are currently operational at Second, Third, Fifth and Pacific Fleet.

Base Level Information Infrastructure (BLII) Description Base Level Information Infrastructure modernizes antiquated information technology (IT) and facilities and installs state-ofthe-art IT capability where none exists at 14 major outside the continental United States (OCONUS) fleet concentration bases, stations, and other remote locations. BLII is the project that provides the infrastructure, hardware, and software for OCONUS Navy Enterprise Network (ONE-NET). BLII provides a fully integrated, interoperable, and secure IT infrastructure that enables the rapid and reliable transfer of voice, video, and data to our forward -deployed OCONUS bases, stations, homeports, and piers. BLII also sustains OCONUS pier IT infrastructure capability, which includes maintaining pier fiber runs, conduits, junction boxes, brow umbilicals, and associated electronics. Modern pier IT infrastructure enables our forward-deployed ships to maintain situational awareness, receive operational and intelligence traffic, and perform maintenance or training on their radio frequency systems while pier side. Status Phase I and II: Migrated legacy networks into the BLII/ONE-NET environment, and now provides IT services to approximately 26,000 BLII/ ONE-NET seats, supporting approximately 33,000 forward-deployed OCONUS Navy users. Developers The BLII project is under the cognizance of Program Executive Office for Enterprise Information Systems. OPNAV N2/N6 and Navy Cyber Forces Command maintain synchronization in the requirements validations and programming processes.

Battle Force Tactical Network (BFTN) Description Battle Force Tactical Network provides high frequency internet protocol (HFIP) and subnet relay (SNR) to allied, coalition, and national maritime units with a direct platform-to-platform tactical networking capability using legacy ultra high frequency (UHF) and high frequency (HF) radios. Since the two technologies operate efficiently with current legacy equipment, they are cost-effective solutions for achieving tactical IP networking at sea. BFTN enables warfighters on Combined Enterprise Regional Information Exchange System-Maritime (CENTRIXS-M) and Secure Internet Protocol Routing Network (SIPRNET) networks to execute and plan in a real-time tactical environment by transporting IP data directly to and from ships, submarines, and aircraft. HFIP operates in the HF spectrum and is capable of data rates of 9.6 kbps in single side band (SSB) and 19.2 kbps in independent side band (ISB). SNR operates in the UHF spectrum and is capable of data rates up to 64 kbps. BFTN allows surface platforms the ability to share a single SATCOM resource for reach-back capability. HFIP also supports the hardware/software upgrade requirements for battle force email (BFEM). BFTN is a key enabler of counter anti-access and area-denial (A2AD) capability. 115

Section 5: INFORMATION DOMINANCE

Status In 2007, the USS Harry S. Truman (CVN 75) Carrier Strike Group deployed with HFIP and SNR. During the next five years, the Navy plans to install BFTN on approximately 243 ships, submarines, and aircraft. FOC is planned for FY 2016. Developers Quatech Rockwell-Collins SAIC

Command and Control Processor/Common Data Link Management System (C2P/CDLMS) Description The Command and Control Processor (C2P) is a tactical data link communication processor designed to encapsulate data link protocols, providing a single shipboard system interface for the shipboard combat system. Originally developed in the 1990s, the C2P is associated with host combat systems, such as Aegis or Ship Self-Defense System (SSDS), and is closely tied to the weapons control loop. In the late 1990s, the C2P was “rehosted” to a more modern hardware suite to take advantage of COTS hardware– –the UYQ-70 console––which makes the system easier and less expensive to upgrade. Additionally, the rehost effort extended the functionality of the C2P by consolidating functions previously performed by separate systems and subsystems and providing improved human machine interface (HMI) and link maintenance. This became known as the Common Data Link Management System (CDLMS). CDLMS also incorporates the Link Monitoring System (LMS) along with supporting the initial phase of development of the Common Shipboard Data Terminal Set (CSDTS). The CSDTS initiative provides the next-generation Link-11 data terminal that replaces legacy Link-11 terminal hardware incorporates Multi-Frequency Link-11 (MFL), Satellite Link-11 and supports the initial Dual-Net Link-11. The CDLMS integrates the CSDTS and C2P Rehost (C2PR) in a set of Versa Module Eurocard (VME) cards to provide consolidated displays and controls to monitor multi-TDL networks simultaneously. The CDLMS/ C2P(R) program has fielded the AN/USQ-86 (V), consisting primarily of an UYQ-70 EPS housing four VME chassis. Three of these are populated with VME card sets C2P(R), CSDTS, and the Link Management/Monitoring Component. This hardware configuration supports the transformation to Next Generation Command and Control Processor (NGC2P), which introduces the Beyond Line of Sight Capability Joint Range Extension (JRE), and is designed to introduce Link-22. Status C2P Model 4 successfully completed OPEVAL in 1994; Model 5 completed OPEVAL in 2000. The C2P is fully fielded with the capability of being re-hosted as software within the CDLM and Next-Generation C2P(NGC2P). NGC2P achieved MS C in FY 2005. It completed OPEVAL testing in FY 2007 and was approved for full rate production in FY 2008. Fielding is expected to be completed by the first quarter of FY 2013. Developers DRS Inc.

Commercial Satellite Communications (COMSATCOM) Description The Commercial Satellite Communications program includes following elements: (1) the Commercial Broadband Satellite Program (CBSP); (2) the Commercial Wideband Satellite Program (CWSP); (3) the Inmarsat B High Speed (HSD) Program; (4) the Television Direct-To-Sailors (TV-DTS) program; and (5) the Iridium Program. The primary purpose of CBSP, CWSP, and Inmarsat B HSD is to provide the terminals and architecture for augmentation of bandwidth requirements in the fleet that are not otherwise available from military satellite communications (MILSATCOM). This includes SATCOM terminals that deliver voice, video, data, and imagery requirements to the warfighter at-sea, e.g., NIPRNET, SIPRNET, JWICS, JCA, telephones, video teleconferencing. The primary purpose of TV-DTS is for enhanced quality of life in the Fleet, which includes video and audio programming. For Navy this includes the top-side antenna only. The space segment is provided by Armed Forces Radio and Television Service (AFRTS), and the below-decks equipment and programming is provided by the DEFMEDIACEN. The primary purpose of Iridium as part of the CNO N6 program of record includes paying Navy’s share of the must-pay corporate bill for operations and maintenance (O&M) of the DoD Gateway in Hawaii. Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) is the program manager for Iridium and is responsible for O&M of the DoD Gateway in Hawaii. A small amount funding is also included to maintain a Help Desk (SPAWAR Atlantic) for new Navy users desiring to acquire Iridium. All users are responsible for paying for the Iridium Handsets, ancillary equipment, and airtime. Status Current fielding for CBSP as of the end of FY 2010 includes 60 of 235 ships complete. Ships continuing to operate with legacy CWSP and Inmarsat as of the end of FY 2010 and transitioning to CBSP include: 27 CWSP and 174 Inmarsat. One hundred twenty ships continue to operate with the legacy TV-DTS antenna system. Iridium includes funding Navy’s share of the corporate bill to pay for Operations and Maintenance of the DoD Gateway in Hawaii. This supports approximately 3000 Navy users of Iridium.

Consolidated Afloat Network Enterprise System (CANES) Description The CANES program will modernize Navy’s afloat environment by consolidating diverse networks and implementing afloat core services (ACS) and cross-domain solutions (CDS). CANES will provide all security domains from Unclassified through Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information (TS/SCI) common computing environment (CCE) for a wide variety of Navy surface combatants, submarines, maritime operations centers (MOCs), and aircraft. CANES will enable more efficient data visibility and flow between operational nodes on the Global Information Grid using an open architecture. Additionally, virtualization on the CCE will enhance the Navy’s ability to reduce numerous standalone command and control systems and applications, eliminating the need to field additional or unique hardware (e.g., servers and workstations). Through CCE, CDS and virtualization, CANES will improve the Navy’s C4ISR security and agility while reducing total ownership costs. CANES will serve as the hardware and software platform upon which applications, systems, and services will host or connect. CANES is currently projecting 34 applications from across multiple Navy departments to migrate from redundant, native hardware and host within the CANES domain providing duplicative cost avoidance and return on investment for the navy. The CANES fielding plan is based on a four-year hardware refresh baseline and a rolling two-year application software upgrade baseline. This approach focuses on cost control rather than acquisition, contracting, testing, and lifecycle sustainment by consolidating configuration-management baselines, logistics, and training into a unified program. Of note, the existing afloat networks that CANES will replace include Integrated Shipboard Network Systems (ISNS), Combined Enterprise Regional Information Exchange System - Maritime (CENTRIXS-M), SCI Networks, and Submarine Local Area Networks (SubLANs). In addition, CANES will provide functionality currently provided in the Video Information Exchange System (VIXS) and portions of Afloat Computer Network Defense (CND). Status The CANES material development decision was approved in November 2008 and the request for proposal (RFP) was released in April 2009. CANES underwent a Milestone B Information Technology Acquisition Board (ITAB) in December 2010 to support IOC in FY 2012. CANES will achieve full deployment on surface ships by FY 2018 and submarines by FY 2021. Developers Lockheed Martin MS2 Tactical Systems Northrop Grumman Space and Mission Systems Corporation 118

Defense Messaging System (DMS) Description DMS is an OSD-mandated program designed to eliminate the multitude of expensive “stovepipe” legacy record messaging systems and provide organizational message traffic between operational units. DMS architecture was derived from the multi-command required operational capability (MROC) requirements and designed to provide the armed services and agencies with a high assurance messaging capability. DMS provides messaging, directory, and management services. Status In 2005, the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Networks and Information Integration (NII) placed DMS in sustainment through FY 2012. Recent DoD Chief Information Officer (CIO) guidance directed the services to find alternate means and technologies to process organizational messages while a post-DMS roadmap is defined. The Navy intends to consolidate and eliminate DMS for organizational messaging using a phased approach. Starting in FY 2011, the Navy will shut down its unclassified DMS architecture. All unclassified non-C2 related official information (OI) that historically was transmitted via message traffic will be disseminated via command email or via other transport mechanisms such as portals, wikis, and blogs. C2-related OI will continue to be supported via Secret Navy Regional Enterprise Messaging System (NREMS). Beginning in FY 2012, the Navy will begin transitioning its shore and afloat components to an IP-based interim solution called Command and Control Official Information Exchange (C2OIX). C2OIX is the Navy’s transitional official information exchange system that consolidates and eliminates shore and afloat support systems while facilitating message transfer via IP as the primary, plus failover to alternative mechanisms. Message communications with allied, coalition, and other DoD entities will continue to be supported by existing classified messaging systems. Developers TELOS

Deployable Joint Command and Control Capability (DJC2) Description The Deployable Joint Command and Control Capability is a standardized, rapidly deployable, scalable, and reconfigurable joint C2 and collaboration combat operations center that can be set up anywhere in the world to support geographic combatant commanders and their joint component commands in the rapid standup of a joint task force headquarters. DJC2 can be employed when executing operations ranging in scale from that of a first responder or small early-entry, forward-component operations center to that of a full JTF combat operation center. It has been used for homeland assistance/disaster relief operations, including: JTF Haiti after the earthquake in Port-au-Prince, Haiti; JTF Caring Response after Cyclone Nargis in Myanmar; and JTF Katrina after Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans, Louisiana. DJC2 supports the Navy Strategic Plan by extending the joint sea base ashore for rapid, dynamic joint operations. The DJC2 system currently has four modular tent/mobile shelter configurations that iteratively build up C2 capability during the first phases of a joint operation. Configurations include an autonomous Rapid Response Kit (RRK, 5 to 15 seats), En Route (6 to 12 seats carried on board C-130 and C-17 airframes), Early Entry (20 to 40 seats), and Core (60 seats). An Early Entry configuration can be set up and operational with three networks and communications in less than six hours. The fully fielded DJC2 configuration can be set up and operational with five networks in less than 24 hours in a footprint of approximately 40,000 square feet. The fully fielded DJC2 includes self-generated power, environmental control, shelters, infrastructure, limited communications equipment, C2 applications, office automation and collaboration software applications with operator workstations (laptop computers, chairs and tables), displays, intercommunications, local area networks, and access to wide area networks. The DJC2 program has delivered to the COCOMS and Joint Force Commanders an operationally tested C2 system that is: • H  orizontally and vertically integrated across all levels of command • I nteroperable across joint, coalition, interagency, nongovernmental organization/private volunteer organization (NGO/PVO) realms

Enterprise Services Description Information is a weapon and our information technology (IT) assets are weapon systems. This, the Navy is changing the way IT is used to manage and protect mission-critical information. Enabling timely access to information provides a significant advantage to Navy warfighters and leads to information dominance. A stepping-stone to reach information domination is establishing Enterprise Services at the Navy’s enterprise level to provide opportunities for expanding user capabilities, increasing security and reducing acquisition and maintenance costs. Enterprise Services will provide the capability to centrally manage and deliver the Navy’s IT, enabling us to reduce total ownership costs for IT services, promote information sharing and interoperability in the Department of the Navy and Department of Defense, ensure compliance with DoD and congressional IT mandates, and significantly improve the Navy’s information assurance (IA). This allows seamless access to resources, including establishing the capability for the user to access resources no matter where they connect to the Navy or DoD. Initial efforts in Enterprise Services focus on consolidating data centers and portals

123

Section 5: INFORMATION DOMINANCE

and on establishing enterprise software licensing. Managing services at the enterprise level provides an opportunity to eliminate stovepipe systems that do not communicate with each other and limits the Navy warfighters’ capability to access mission critical information. Our early success in Enterprise Services comes from the migration of several portals that provide a single sign-on gateway to core enterprise applications, services, and processes. The Navy is intensifying efforts to eliminate legacy networks, servers, systems, applications, and duplicative data environments, transforming proprietary and tightly coupled systems and applications into a set of enterprise services that emphasize loosely coupled systems and processes. These enterprise services will be leveraged across the Department to provide seamless connectivity to mission critical information. Today’s and tomorrow’s operational environment necessitates that the Navy expand its scope to operate with a diverse range of mission partners. From maintaining our standing commitments and alliances and responding to unconventional threats overseas to supporting civilian authorities when disaster strikes within our borders, the Navy must be positioned to provide immediate response. This demands dynamic and focused information sharing with a high degree of interoperability and minimum barriers to operational efficiency and success. Status A Navy program of record (POR) for Enterprise Information Technology Services (EITS) will be established at the beginning of FY 2012. Funding for the EITS POR was provided in POM12. One of the areas the EITS POR will address is portal consolidation. In FY 2009, the Navy Enterprise Portal (NEP) concept was established. The objective is for commands to migrate from their own portals and consolidate into the NEP. Commands will have two NEP instances to choose from, Oracle and SharePoint. Migrations into NEP will continue beyond FY 2011. The EITS program office will also establish enterprise license agreements with major software manufacturers starting in FY 2012, and will be engaged in Navy data center consolidation initiatives. Developers To be determined and will be under the cognizance of Program Executive Office for Enterprise Information System (PEO EIS).

Global Command and Control System — Maritime (GCCS-M) Description Global Command and Control System – Maritime is the maritime implementation of the GCCS family of systems. It supports decision making at all echelons of command with a single, integrated, scalable C4I system that fuses, correlates, filters, maintains, and displays location and attribute information on friendly, hostile, and neutral land, sea, and air forces, integrated with available intelligence and environmental information. It operates in near real-time and constantly updates unit positions and other situational awareness data. GCCS-M also records data in appropriate databases and maintains a history of changes to those records. System users can then use the data to construct relevant tactical pictures using maps, charts, topography overlays, oceanographic overlays, meteorological overlays, imagery, and all-source intelligence information coordinated into a common operational picture that can be shared locally and with other sites. Navy commanders review and evaluate the general tactical situation, plan actions and operations, direct forces, synchronize tactical movements, and integrate force maneuver with firepower. The system operates in a variety of environments and supports joint, coalition, allied and multinational forces. GCCS-M is implemented afloat and at ashore fixed command centers. Status The GCCS-M program is designated ACAT IAC with the Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Research, Development, and Acquisition 126

Navy Program Guide 2011

Maritime Domain Awareness (MDA) Description The National Plan to Achieve Maritime Domain Awareness defines MDA as the “effective understanding of anything associated with the maritime domain that could impact the security, safety, economy, or environment of the United States.” MDA facilitates timely decision-making that enables actions to neutralize threats to U.S. national security interests. MDA results from the discovery, collection, sharing, fusion, analysis, and dissemination of mission-relevant data, information, and intelligence when considered in context of maritime political, social, economic, and environmental trends within geographic regions. No nation, let alone a single agency, can achieve MDA unilaterally. Global MDA can be achieved only through the seamless collaboration of the entire maritime community. Therefore, key to improving MDA is a collaborative and comprehensive information and intelligencesharing environment. Status The first spiral of an operational MDA capability achieved initial operational capability in August 2008. Subsequently, Navy completed a multi-phase capabilities-based assessment (CBA) that identified fleet MDA requirements to improve information access, analysis and sharing to the wide range of partners. The CBA findings are in the process of Joint validation and will guide further capability enhancements. 130

Navy Program Guide 2011

MDA Spiral 1 capabilities are fielded at Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI), Navy Maritime Operations Centers (MOCs) and Coast Guard Maritime Intelligence Fusion Centers (MIFCs). Analysts at U.S. Northern Command and Joint Interagency Task Force–South (JIATF-S) have web-based access to the tools. Future MDA tools development will be guided by the Navy MDA Data Fusion and Analysis Functions of Navy MDA initial capabilities Document. They will reside within Increment 2 of the DCGS-N program. MDA Spiral 1 is in sustainment and will be maintained until DCGS-N Increment 2 capabilities are available by FY 2015; there will be no capability gap for fleet users. Also, International Seapower Symposium (ISS) 19 in September 2009 focused heavily on MDA and drew attendance from 102 nations, 90 of which were represented at the head-of-service level. Following the symposium, the CNO obtained consensus that a game with international participation, informed by the results of the panel discussions, would help guide the synchronized way ahead. Thus, the CNO sponsored two games beginning with the MDA Operational Game, followed by the Global Maritime Partnerships Game. These built upon the mutual trust and cooperation we share with international partners. The results of these games inform evolving MDA capability and provide input for International Seapower Symposium 20 in 2011. The findings will guide the development of an unclassified information-sharing environment. Developers PMW-120

Open Architecture OA Description Open architecture is a business strategy for rapidly fielding superior, cost-effective warfighting systems. Naval OA is the confluence of business and technical practices yielding modular, interoperable systems that adhere to open standards with published interfaces. This approach increases opportunities for competitive innovation, enables re-use of components, facilitates rapid technology insertion, and reduces testing and maintenance constraints. Status The Navy’s Surface Force has programmed funding for OA since 2003. The Aegis Combat System Modernization plan started with a technical undertaking to implement an open-architecture design by de-coupling hardware from software for cost-effective COTS sustainment. All modern surface combat systems (Aegis, SSDS, LCS, and DDG 1000) are being coordinated to ensure development of scalable, modular software application components, and to provide greater business opportunities for competitive alternatives. A request for proposals, which is the first competition since 1969, has been issued for the Aegis Prime System Engineering Agent (PSEA) starting with subsequent advanced capability builds (ACBs). The acquisition-led OA Enterprise Team (OAET) is adopting broader business aspects of open architecture for more collaborative competition within and across programs, including small business involvement through the ONR-led Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) program, to deliver cost-effective, common capability quickly and more efficiently to the Fleet.

SCI Networks Program Description Intelligence analysts’ on board ships and submarines utilize Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI) networks to access national and service strategic/tactical databases for critical Special Intelligence (SI) needed to execute their indications-and-warning role in the kill-chain process. The SCI Networks program, along with the Integrated Shipboard Network System (ISNS), Combined Enterprise Regional Information Exchange System Maritime (CENTRIXS-M), and Submarine Local Area Network (SubLAN) will transition to the Consolidated Afloat Network and Enterprise Services (CANES) program. CANES will provide the network infrastructure and core services using service oriented architecture and multi-level security environment. SCI Networks (previously known as TACINTELII/SCI ADNS) is a system of internet protocol-capable, network-centric, automated, communication capabilities that meet established information assurance computer security criteria while providing real-time receipt and transmission of SI and SCI data. The SCI Networks program provides hardware infrastructure and core enterprise services to exchange time-sensitive cryptologic sensor and intelligence data with national and tactical commanders as well as afloat and shore-based units. The SCI Networks program uses open-architecture standards as a critical element in Navy’s evolving concept of networkcentric warfare. The full SI capability under CANES will include voice and data transfer among SCI-capable ships and submarines, with gateways to shore nodes. Under the submarine phase of the program, the SCI Networks program brought the SCI enclave and SI access to Joint Worldwide Intelligence Communications System (JWICS) enclave. SCI Networks interface with Distributed Common Ground System-Navy (DCGS-N), Global Command and Control System-Maritime (GCCS-M) SI, Tactical Cryptologic Systems (TCS), and other SI systems. Status SCI Networks is at FOC and is deploying an SCI Enclave Common Computing Environment (CCE) risk-mitigation variant for the CANES program in FY 2011. This variant will maximize hardware efficiency through virtualization and application hosting. SCI Networks will complete Windows NT (WinNT) surface replacement in FY 2011 with submarine WinNT replacement installations beginning in October 2010 through the first quarter of FY 2013. Implementation of the Shore Network Operations Center (SNOC) facilities’ defense in depth is complete. A Network Operations Center (NOC) End of Life (EOL) upgrade is planned for FY 2011 as well as access to National Security Agency Network (NSAnet). Software release 5.0 will begin fielding in FY 2011. SCI Networks transition to CANES will begin in FY 2013. Legacy surface systems will be deployed until FY 2017 and legacy subsurface systems will be deployed until FY 2021. Developers SAIC

Tactical Mobile Description The Navy Tactical/Mobile (TacMobile) Program provides systems to support maritime commanders with the capability to plan, direct, and control the tactical operations of maritime patrol and reconnaissance forces (MPRF), joint and naval expeditionary forces, and other assigned units within their respective area of responsibility. The TacMobile systems that support these missions are Tactical Operations Centers (TOCs), Mobile Tactical Operations Centers (MTOCs) and Joint Mobile Ashore Support Terminals (JMASTs). TOCs and MTOCs provide MPRF operational support ashore at main operating bases, primary deployment sites, and forward operating bases, similar to support provided on board an aircraft carrier to embarked tactical airwings. Support includes persistent situational operational and tactical awareness, MPRA pre-mission coordination and planning, mission and target briefings, tactical in-flight support, post-mission analysis of collected sensor data, data dissemination, and feedback to aircraft sensor operators and supported commanders. Services provided include analysis and correlation of diverse sensor information, data management support, command decision aids, data communication, mission planning, and evaluation and dissemination of surveillance data and threat alerts to operational users ashore and afloat. As advances in sensor technology are fielded on MPRA, the TOC and MTOC sensor analysis equipment will evolve to support the new sensor capabilities. JMAST provides a robust and transportable C4ISR capability to a navy component commander or other staff. In recent world events, JMAST systems have supported overseas operations, humanitarian-assistance and disaster-relief (HA/DR) efforts, non-combatant evacuation operations (NEO), and other current operations. Status TacMobile Increment 2.0 FRP and fielding were authorized in June 2009 to field new capabilities such as CENTRIXS, GBS, and HF-IP without eliminating existing C4I capabilities. Increment 2.0 incorporates warfighter interface capabilities for TOC/MTOC activities plus communication upgrades needed for MTOCs to support P-3C Orion operations. Increment 2.1 is in development and will incorporate P-8A Poseidon Multi-mission Maritime Aircraft (MMA) mission support and systems interfaces as well as critical communications upgrades. Increment 2.1 Milestone C is scheduled for the third quarter of FY 2011 to support a concurrent OT&E with the P-8A. Requirements gathering, review, and analysis are underway to support P-8A Increment 2 engineering change proposals and Broad Area Maritime Surveillance (BAMS) Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS), to achieve more efficient information flow across the Navy’s sensor grid through implementation of tactical service oriented architecture enabled by the Global Information Grid.

Telephony Description Telephony suite replacement and modernization funding ensures that all telephony equipment under Navy’s purview in the CONUS and OCONUS are replaced in accordance with industry life cycle standards and that software is upgraded in a systemic manner to ensure compatibility with DoD and commercial telephone systems. The telephony project replaces obsolete telephony suite hardware and maintains currency of firmware and software in accordance with policy and procedures set forth in DoD Instruction 8100.3, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Instruction (CJCSI) 6212.01, and CJCSI 6215.01B. The majority of the Navy’s telephone switches are Defense Switched Network (DSN) switches. These switches provide on-base Federal Telephone System (FTS) local and long distance calling service as well as worldwide DSN connectivity. Status Telephony hardware and software procurement and installation is under the cognizance of PEO C4I. However, Navy policy states that procurement of hardware and software can be executed only through the Defense Information Systems Agency Joint Interoperability Test Command (DISA JITC). Developers Navy policy is to procure only hardware and software from the DISA JITC tested/certified/interoperable Approved Products List (APL).

Trusted Information Systems (TIS) Description The Trusted Information Systems (TIS) program facilitates sharing of critical information across security domains and among allied, coalition and interagency partners. The TIS program funds Radiant Mercury (RM)––the DoD and Intelligence Community’s most widely deployed cross-domain transfer solution. RM provides cross-domain information sharing capabilities from Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information (TS/SCI) to General Service (GENSER) and GENSER to Unclassified. RM provides a fully-automated, bi-directional, multiple input/ output channel capability, that can be serial or network connected, to sanitize, transliterate, downgrade, and guard classified, formatted information to users at lower classification levels. RM also processes unformatted message types and imagery utilizing reliable human review (semi-automated). In early 2011, RM was deployed to more than 330 sites worldwide, including all combatant commands, aircraft carriers and large-deck amphibious warships, Shared Early Warning and Blue Force Tracking (SEWBFT) commands, and numerous Air Force and Army sites, in addition to national agencies.

UHF Satellite Communications Follow-On (UFO) Description The Ultra High Frequency Follow-On constellation consists of eight satellites that replaced the Fleet Satellite (FLTSAT), Gapfiller and Leased Satellite (LEASAT) UHF constellations. UFO provides worldwide, narrowband, unprotected netted, point-to-point and broadcast service of voice, video, and data using 5 and 25 kHz UHF channels. UFO also provides a protected fleet broadcast using an EHF uplink and UHF downlink to provide an anti-jam capability on the uplink. UFO satellites F4 through F11 carry an EHF payload that provides anti-jam capability on the uplink and downlink. Protected services include netted, point-to-point, and broadcast service of voice and data. The EHF payload also provides an anti-jam telemetry tracking and control (TT&C) uplink capability. UFOs F8 through F10 include a Global Broadcast Service payload that uses direct broadcast technology to provide a very high data rate to many users via small terminals. UFO F11 includes a Dual Digital Receive Unit (DRU). The activation of UFO F11’s Dual DRU at the beginning of FY 2009 has effectively increased the number of available 25kHz channels by nine (from 24 to 33) and increased the number of available 5kHz channels by one (from 20 to 21). Status Of the 11 UFO satellites that have been launched, eight were operational in late 2010. UFO F11 was launched in December 2003 to extend the life of the constellation until the first Mobile User Objective System (MUOS) satellite becomes operational. Due to MUOS program delays, risk exists that a single UFO satellite or multiple UFO satellites may fail before the first MUOS satellite becomes operational. The loss of any number of UFO satellites would reduce constellation size to less than eight satellites, the minimum UFO program requirement.

UQQ-2 Surveillance Towed Array Sensor System (SURTASS) Description The Surveillance Towed Array Sensor System (SURTASS) capability consists of a mobile fleet of five ships that employ highly capable deep and shallow-water (littoral zone) passive-acoustic towed-array sonar systems. These ships provide passive detection of quiet nuclear and diesel submarines and real-time reporting of surveillance information to theater commanders and operational units. SURTASS ships employ the TL-29A twin-line passive-sonar acoustic arrays that are towed side-by-side from a SURTASS ship. The TL-29A offers significant performance improvements for undersea surveillance operations both in deep-ocean and shallowwater littoral environments. It can be towed in water as shallow as 180 feet and provides significant directional noise rejection and bearing ambiguity resolution capability without having to without having to turn the ship and possibly destabilizing the array. Status Five SURTASS vessels are operational in the Pacific fleet. The first production model TL-29A twin-line SURTASS array was installed in FY 2005, and all SURTASS vessels currently have TL-29A twin line arrays. SURTASS is also being upgraded with the Integrated Common Processor that will result in increased operator proficiency, increased functionality, and savings in logistics support and software maintenance.

WQT-2 SURTASS/Low Frequency Active (LFA) Sonar Description The LFA system, the active adjunct to the Surveillance Towed Array Sensor System (SURTASS) sonar system, is capable of longrange detections of submarine and surface ship contacts. It comprises a low-frequency active sonar transmitter deployed below a SURTASS ship, with the SURTASS passive towed array acting as the receiver. Other Navy ships with towed arrays and compatible processing systems can also process the LFA signal returns, using what is called a “bi-static” mode. As a mobile system, SURTASS/ LFA can be employed as a force-protection sensor wherever the force commander directs, including in forward operating areas or in support of carrier strike group and expeditionary group operations. A UHF SATCOM communication system provides direct voice and data connectivity between the SURTASS/LFA ship and tactical platforms. Status One LFA system is installed on board the USNS Impeccable (TAGOS 23) in early 2011. The Compact LFA (CLFA) system, employing smaller and lighter sources, has been installed on USNS 148
